"Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?

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!? 😑

You can disable it pretty easily in the settings. I wish more apps let you opt out of ads so easily.

Could not find it on android, do i need to use the webapp?

Maybe it's on notifications menu, but there are some many things in there and nothing related to ads

Try clicking the “what’s this?” I think it explained it when I did it. All I know is I got it once like a year ago and immediately disabled. Still stupid that they do this for paying customers but it wasn’t that hard to opt out.

Thanks! I'll try this next time when I get one of these popups.
