The newer option on Spotify to watch a 30 second clip to have 30 minutes of ad free listening is ruining spotify and I'm about to delete it from my phone. I understand they need ads for funding, and I like the idea of watching a video in exchange for a window of ad-free listening. But it doesn't work.

First off, there is no option to decline and there is often no announcement of the pause unless my screen is on/unlocked. When I do watch the video, Spotify does 1 of 3 things...in order of frequency. 

1. Plays the video and then freezes after, forcing me to close and reload the app

2. The video won't play and Spotify freezes, again forcing me to restart app

3. The video actually plays and I get 30 minutes of listening (this has only happened once)

Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this or if Spotify is working on fixing this problem? Also, my signal has no effect on it, the same thing has happened on 4G, LTE, & WiFi.
