"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 still pay for premium because it allows me to intercept their high quality 320kbps ogg streams.

Interesting 🤔 "intercept" as in to rip them?

And suppose a friend asked me how you do that. What should I tell them?

Look up soggfy or zotify. Can't link them here for obvious reasons.

You can use them without premium but the quality of saved files will be lower.
