A few days ago, the Swedish company announced the economic results for both the last quarter of 2018, in addition to those for the entire year 2018. After many years of losses, it finally showed positive figures. But in addition, also announced the number of subscribers it currently has.
As of today, well more like December 31, 2018. Spotify had 96 million paying subscribers, almost twice as many subscribers as Apple Music currently has, the second-largest streaming music service with the most users today. Spotify took the opportunity to announce a series of changes that will soon arrive on its platform.
Spotify has at its disposal the necessary tools to be able to lock all users' accounts They use both mobile and desktop apps to bypass, avoid, or outright mute ads, but so far it seems like that little trick hasn't bothered them too much, at least until now.
In March 2018, Spotify announced that 2 million users used apps or hacks to bypass the ads for the free version. It seems that the number of users who make use of this type of hacks has increased considerably, since Spotify has announced that it will begin to block all the accounts of users who make use of these techniques.
The company will start banning these accounts from March 1, date on which the new terms of service will come into operation, terms that affirm that the accounts will be banned directly without issuing any type of prior notice.
If you are a regular user of these types of hacks, you should start thinking twice, if you don't want to lose all the playlists that you currently have in your Spotify account.
