Spotify playing ads for paid subscribers

Is this news site Peter Thiels?
It's like reddit for techbros that gush about the latest fads and startups. Not sure who owns it, but it's probably the worst venture capitalists. The moderation is very heavy against anyone that becomes even slightly politically aware.
Ycombinator is peter thiel. This is a news aggregator and social media site housed in his network. Fucking losers.
Amazon does it, YouTube does it. Everyone will do it eventually. Greed has no threshold
It has the threshold its victims allow by maintaining a relationship with the greedy.
YouTube does not do that, unless you’re referring to sponsorships which are mostly handled and organized and introduced to the viewer apart from YouTube’s meddling.
Took them longer than I expected.
