Spotify says it’s not putting ads on Premium.

A rumor on social media has suggested that once Spotify’s long-awaited Music Pro / Hi-Fi / Supremium tier arrives, the music streamer might pull an Amazon Prime Video and push paying subscribers to choose between living with ads at their existing price or pay more for the old, ad-free experience.

Now Spotify has posted a response on X:

There is a rumor circulating that Spotify is putting ads into premium music listening. This rumor is false. Premium music listening is and will remain ad-free.

Cool, but where are the higher bitrate music streams we’ve been waiting for all these years?
