Whac-a-mole.
- Is that like guac-a-mole?
  
  Grab a few moles...
  
  Axe a knife into their stones...
  
  Twist the knife to get rid of those...
  
  Remove the moleskin with a spoon...
  
  6, 7, 8, GUAC!!!
On mobile i use mutify, which simply mutes audio whenever an ad starts. Dead simple and works like a charm!
- Same but different. I use spotube.
Still working on my end, but don't know for how long, if they kill it, it might be the time I pass to tidal or say fuck it and just start using again my old mp3 player app
- I think they are fine with that since you presumably don't pay then anyways. You just cost them money.
  
  And I'm perfectly fine costing them money, I would pay, were they not enshittifying music streaming and paying peanuts to the artists.
  
  Actually, I might try and find a new patch if they block this one to keep costing them money out of spite.
I'm still able to use spotube without a plan, and no ads.
- Spotube shows Spotify playlists but uses YouTube music for streaming.
  
  Funny how that works.
  
  And I can download the songs, too.
  
  A big middle finger to both of them.
There is Spotify revanced now!!! Its working fine for me Atm. Lots of revanced apps now. Search for revanced manager.
Revanced :)
The client APK that I'm running appears unaffected.
- XManager stopped working for me a while ago. Unsure why.
Can still use Spicetify on desktop?
SpotEevee on iOS, can confirm that it still works.

Edit: the article finally loaded and saw that they’re fighting APKs. Good luck to them but iirc so far no developer was able to defeat piracy on Android.
