Is there a Spotify alternative that has no ads?

I pay for Spotify for 7 years or so now and i'm so sick of all the ads. After every update there seems to be an: oops, sorry, you have ads now. Podcasts are filled with ads. I was just listening to a podcast where they shoved in 3 ads mid-sentence. How long until musicians put ads in their songs. I'm just so sick of it.

Are you sure it's not just the podcasters that put ads on thier pods?

I have had Spotify premium basically seance launch and haven't heard a singel ad from them seance.

But I have never really listened to any pods.

What seance did you perform for the no ads? /s

I have no clue, maybe they favour their home country.

@SgtAStrawberry some of them are. But some doesn't have ads and when i re-listen to them they have german ads that weren't there before. Also i don't really care, if i pay for no ads then i pay for no ads

That I totally understand. I just wanted to make it clear what type of ads we were talking about. I heard some people put them in the same category or even put recommendations in too. And while I understand the logic, about the two types of ads, Spotify, YouTube and similar can't really do much about the ads put in by the creator.
