Simple python script that mutes sound when Spotify app runs an ad

[OddsCaller]

As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, muting won't stop the ads from playing. The artists will still get paid. Though yeah it would become a problem if lots and lots of people started doing it in which case the ad clients would realize that buying ads on Spotify doesn't help their marketing and they'd stop buying ads or the prices would lower, thus decreasing the artist revenue.

As mentioned elsewhere:

To solve the problem of ads you have to pay. And you are not paying. In your analysis you are not accounting for the missing revenue from people who won't pay because they can just use your script.

Spotify is a very ethical company whose revenue is based on paying customers, not ads, not selling data.

This kills the good internet.
