"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!? 😑

The screenshot literally says "sponsored recommendation". Not sure how much more clear it can be that somebody paid money for that.
I ment to say I don't get why anyone would pay for that.
Artist are trying to get paid for people listening on Spotify, not the other way around.
I guess It's like advertising your product on amazon so people buy from you not others, but somehow it feels stupid when you think about it in the context of a music streaming service.
Well, spins the first week can lead to having a BB100 or BB200 track/album.
That kind of thing is important for the legs of an album/track.
