Started out great, but once I let my premium account lapse it's like Spotify is punishing me. 5 minutes of ads for every 10 minutes of music (3 ads per 3 songs) and, the volume of the ads is exponentially higher than that of the music. So, you get to choose between not hearing your music, getting yelled at by ads, or constantly adjusting your volume. Used to love this platform. Not sure why the frequency of ads went up so much. Guess that's how they coerce us into buying premium.
