Spotify, new user, free version but had no ads for 10 days?

[bungle]

New user to Spotify, just trying out the free version first, but really like it.

What confused me is I was expecting ads from the start. But for the first 10 days I got none, zilch, just continuous music hour after hour. I thought maybe the ad blocker I've had on my phone for ages was somehow stopping them.

Anyway, the ads have now started! Anyway know why now? Do they give you 10 days ad free to start so you think this is great with no ads? And then when you get ads you want to go premium.

Can anyone enlighten me?

The more you listen the more ads you get, until it’s almost an advert after every song.
Use a family account and it’s well worth it,

Give you the first few days ad free until you think wow this is great, then introduce the ads until you think fck it upgrade to get rid of them.

I think you have signed up with 1 month free. After that you go to the basic account and you get ads I think every three songs.

No, signed up for free, not the premium trial. Just seemed odd I got no ads for about 10 days and then they suddenly started.

Will probably do the 60 day trial now.
