"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!? 😑

Meh, for not very much a month I can pay for premium Spotify and rip 320 mp3s to my hearts content, for anything that is more obscure or just not released on Spotify I buy through bandcamp. I used to buy a lot more but being much poorer now I'm going to take advantage of saving so much money and still being able to have files that I can hold on to and use how I like.
Juat rip thr files, Spotify pockets most of the money so if it's about supporting artists it's a bad solution anyway!
