And then there are Safari users who are watching from the sidelines.

1 year ago I had basically free Spotify Premium because Safari was unable to play ads. That's a kind of ad blocking.

And you ran zero ad blockers in Safari and on your network?

No ad blocker. This bug started to break song playback on Safari (according to Spotify's forums, I faced no such problem) and then it was fixed so I got ads.
