The next 30 minutes are ad free, thanks to following sponsor. Except it’s not. Because I am too cheap to pay the $9.99 a month for no adds, unlimited skips and the ability to choose my own song. Here’s why I should buy premium:

Shuffle

When I listen to shuffle without premium, I can be jamming out to the Hamilton soundtrack one minute and then get some old school Selena Gomez the next. But to Spotify, it doesn’t matter one way or the other if Phillip Hamilton just died, but the heart wants what it wants dang it!

Unlimited skips

Now, playing off of the same Hamilton example, I have skipped Gomez, Imagine Dragons, Katy Perry, you name the pop singer, they have popped up to ruin my after cabinet battle hype. And after so many skips, I am simply told cough up the money or listen to the darn song. To which I reply with changing the station.

Pick your jam

When I’m in the mood for a slower song or just something that is a little more toned down, it would be nice to click that song and just let it play, maybe even listen to it a couple times over. Without Spotify premium, I have zero choice of doing that. Sometimes, if I’m not feeling lazy, I will get out Youtube and put that in, but really, who has the time for that.

Click her for 30 minute without ads

Now, this does give me quite a bit of issues. When I’m driving and really going hard on a song, I don’t want to have to look down at my phone. It’s no better than texting and driving and really there shouldn’t be an option to click anywhere while you are driving. But of course there is, and all of this could be solved with $9.99 a month.

Why I won’t buy Spotify

I’m cheap.
