Not "ad free" in the "New Music This Week" newsletter

Hi,

I've been an "Ad Free" subscriber for years now, and always got my "New Music This Week" newsletter ad free, but all of a sudden, a few weeks or so back, I started getting ads in those. I first noticed because I wasn't getting them at all, and (understandably) my spam detector starting flagging them as spam when they became full of dodgy Medicare ads and what not.

I've since whitelisted the newsletter as not spam, but it's much worse now that it's full of horrible ads. What gives? Why am I no longer "ad free" despite paying for such?

Cheers,

Sean

Hey Sean,
Thanks for your longtime support.

In an effort to try to generate more revenue in a way that is not (more) intrusive to the AllMusic site experience, we have been experimenting with a service that includes ads in our weekly newsletter. To be honest we have been underwhelmed with the quality of the ads and the overall experience so I don't expect it will last.

Your subscription to the AllMusic website is still intact and you should not be seeing ads on the website. That said, the weekly newsletter we pay to send out each week is an area that we may try to squeak some more revenue out of if we can find a partner that has ads that actually seem music-focused (record labels, music stores, etc).

Thanks again.
