They don't seem to check if a user has adblock and pays.

They definitely seem to have checks in place for it. I have Family Premium and so far no issues at all.

Edit: to clarify, not a fan of any of this. Just saying it does work for me

Weird. It's not happening to me today. Maybe it was something else.

Well, I don't pay for premium, and I use an adblocker, and I haven't had any problems. Not having a problem doesn't prove anything if they're only targeting a subset of their users...

The article says that this isn't happening for all users, which indicates that they're still experimenting with it and haven't fully rolled it out yet.

I do have the issue when I'm logged out
