"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!? 😑

I know I can do that.

Have you heard about sarcasm? That's what I was doing.

I thought maybe you thought that WAV was purer than FLAC

Nah, I just like to brag about how the file is uselessly bigger

Look, they ask me at the audio store how I listen to my music when I ordered two amps to try out, just to make sure I don't just use Spotify.

So I guess it's never out of question that people consider WAVs a completely different sound qualities.
