It'd be a lot cooler if they got rid of that god damn tooltip that has said "listen on your speaker" for 10 years. I'm not sure if they know this but they make a music application that produces sounds waves that already come out of speakers. If it didn't then I wouldn't be able to hear it.

Ok, so they have taken four weeks to even acknowledge this issue, to me this signal that this was more of a test to see how receptive paying users would be to hear ads.
So they will set the $premium_ad_frequency variable to 0 in a day or two while they "fix" the issue.
Bug, right. Sure.
Someone in my work had this happen to them, but it was the "sick of ads? Pay for premium" advent.
It could still be part of a deliberate action but that must be the worst advert to try to sneak ads in.
