I had been enjoying premium for about 6 years now without being charged, but they finally tried charging me the other day and, since the card I had on file is 3 years expired, I am back to having friggin' ads ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

how did you get free premium for 6 years?

I imagine it was a technical error on Spotify's end.

I use revanced for mobile and SmartTube for TV. Works pretty good

I was looking into revanced for it, but it looks like it doesn't work without ads since January. I'd just get MP3s but I don't have the storage for that many songs even on my PC, let alone my phone where I usually listen to music.
