Update: Spotify is no longer letting me access premium features. It seemed to only work for 27% of readers as well according to our poll.
They say everything good in life is free, which must be why Spotify is now letting me access premium features without paying for a premium subscription. If you’re unfamiliar, you don’t actually need to pay to use Spotify.

A typical free user should be limited to six skips per hour on mobile, but my colleagues (Lily Katz and Sara Carbone) and I have all been able to skip songs without any warning popping up on our phones.
