Your review cracked my ass up lol.
I just had to look up the commercial and I think I have some context for you.

This commercial features the main characters from the 2000s tv show Gilmore Girls. The woman in the commercial in the main protagonist (one of her many quirky traits is that she drinks coffee like it’s water) and the man in the commercial is “Luke”, the owner of a local diner who is the love interest of the woman. Over the course of the show, those two fall in love and get together (so she’s likely getting free coffee from the diner, but that’s not explicitly shown in the commercial).
All that aside, you’re right that this commercial makes no friggin sense. Your review is even funnier to me because of how much more bizarre this commercial is without any kind of context.
Article is talking about spam artists on Spotify who make playlists out of a couple songs you like, then fill it up with their own spammy music so it tricks you into playing their songs.
