My Question or Issue

Hi Spotify,

Since a couple of days I'm getting ads while I heard my podcasts. While I'm sure that in certain podcast there are creators that already include the ads, that is fine and I know which ones are, but I'm listening to a Spotify exclusive podcast, and I'm getting almost the same ad, twice while i heard an episode, and it does not make sense for me if I'm paying premium.

I have uninstalled Spotify, log out and log in but same situation. In all the devices I used to play my podcast.

How I can solve this?

Thanks in advance

Jose.

Hey @Joseferc, thanks for reaching out to the Community!

Spotify doesn’t play ads that interrupt the music listening experience, however, some podcasts may include advertising, host-read endorsements, or sponsorship messages. There’s more info about this here.

I hope this helps. I'll be here if you need a hand with anything else!

I keep receiving advertisements for my paid membership. There are 30 second clips that play in between my podcasts. This is outrageous.

Hey Joseferc,

I subscribed to Spotify before, but I also received advertisements when listening to podcasts. This happened more than once, and I stopped subscribing later. Then my friend recommended me a TunesFun Spotify Music Converter tool, so I can download my favorite blogs to my own device without ads. This method works quite well, you can try it!

Clara, thanks for the tip.
But I guess the point is, since it's a paid service, we shouldn't have to find alternative ways to avoid advertisements that are supposed to no longer be there.
