Spotify has decided to introduce some changes in its policy that will directly affect those who use certain Tricks to skip the ads of the free subscription to the platform. Have you just felt alluded to and singled out? Well, keep reading and find out about the consecuencias that you could have before it's too late.
No more skipping ads on free accounts
Spotify count as you know with two types of subscription: a premium, with a monthly fee, which allows you to listen to music without ads and enjoy the tracks in offline mode, among other advantages; and a free one, which costs nothing but forces you, in exchange, to listen to music with the interruption of ads every few tracks or time.
Many have managed to find, however, a way to bypass these commercials with software solutions, so that at the moment they enjoy the great advantage of having Spotify without advertising without paying a single euro. But that, we are sorry to tell you, is going to end.
The on-demand music platform just updated your Terms of Service, expressly stating that "it is prohibited to circumvent or block ads on or create and distribute tools designed to block those ads." If a user gets caught by doing this, Spotify may take the action of suspending the account and ban him temporarily or even permanently.
Apparently the company now has detection systems capable of catching these ad-hopping tools and the person behind them using them. At the moment, according to what our colleagues say ADSL Zone, the streaming service will perform temporary bans, as a warning and warning, returning the account to the users once they deactivate the pirated software.

This measure will begin to apply after March 1, as they have notified, at which time all Spotify users will have to accept the new terms of service and therefore we will be subject to these new rules. It is not clear, however, how or when the permanent bans will take place: will it be the users who reoffend? Will they give a margin of time after which the chances of backing out will end and they will directly go to the definitive block if they catch you with a program of this type?
Be that as it may, it seems that the bargain is over for many who used this trick to get rid of ads. We'll see how long it takes to invent a new one.
