On: I hacked SONOS and YouTube the same day

Streaming services leverage playlists, and they insert ads into those playlists.

Streaming services like Spotify, are music players by nature obviously...

You are just being pedantic, while the parent comment offered a fairly useful distinction between those two types of services, even though it might not be the dictionary definition.

Both a cement mixer and a honda civic are vehicles that one can drive on the road by nature. The point still stands that they shouldn't be compared directly, as they serve completely different purposes (despite them both being drivable vehicles).

if you pay for spotify, there are no ads, just like if you paid for your music and a music player there would be no ads.

And before you tell me you got your music and player on the high seas, you can still do that so I don't see how anything has changed.
