wtf, Spotify somehow wound up installed on my windows system O.o

Okay, apparently the latest update for Discord installs Spotify if you don't manually uncheck an option.

@Zauberin Huh! Might've been a forced install- I noticed their icon appear, plus a promo of Dolby Atmos for Headphones free (for three days).

@porsupah and now I just saw an advert for some dating site pop up in windows

@Zauberin Oh, good grief. What next, "one weird trick" ads?

@porsupah by the looks of things, some people are getting Spotify installed automatically with some software updates. IIRC though, the only recently-installed programs I saw were Edge and some other microsoft programs.

So yeah. That kinda bodes well...
