I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a “sponsored recommendation”.

Why am I seeing ads if I’m already paying for the premium plan!? 😑

    What sort of ads are you getting? I have premium and podcasts do not have ads aside from the sponsors from within the podcast itself (like how YouTubers do sponsored segments).

      Same. I’ve seen multiple people say this here and I’ve yet to experience it. Makes me wonder if the particular podcasters they’re listening to have opted in to some sort of ad revenue thing from Spotify.
