I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a “sponsored recommendation”.

Why am I seeing ads if I’m already paying for the premium plan!? 😑

    Saying I don’t own my copy of Pokemon Gold or my vinyl record collection is like saying I don’t own the books in my bookshelf.

    I guess there is indeed a limit to my freedom to how I use them - I cannot write the words down one by one and start reselling my copy. But that’s a pretty messed up concept of ownership where I probably don’t even own the shirt on my back.
