I’m listening to a podcast and suddenly I get an ad. NOT AN EMBEDDED AD BY THE PODCASTER. So please do not tell me that Joe Rogan Experience podcast is interrupting in the middle of a sentences in a conversation to get some Australians to tell me about their new podcast I should listen to. You can see in this screenshot that it is a SPOTIFY ADVERTISEMENT.

Can you fix this bug?

Sometimes I’m playing white noise for my new born and do not want her to be startled by some stupid ads.

Apparently I’m not the only one

Hi @JorBal,

Thank you for sharing your posts on the Community. 

While Spotify doesn’t play ads that interrupt your music, some podcast creators may include third-party advertising, host-read endorsements or sponsorship messages in their episodes.

If you're not getting any ads while playing music, then those ads on the podcast are part of the embedded ones by the creators. They can also be about any kind of product or service, including promoting other shows. 

We appreciate your feedback and we'll make sure to pass it on to the right folks. For now, we'd recommend making sure your app is up to date so you don't miss any important updates.

We'll be on the lookout.

I'm also a premium subscriber and listen to the new Paracasts. I hear an ad each time I stream it from my phone, but not from my Apple TV app. Why is that? Sounds like a bug. I suspect there shouldn't be any ads at all. Please fix. Thanks.

No this is COMPLETE BS Spotify. Premium no ads means NO ADS!!  I can totally understand a host read ad (embedded)  but this. No, we paid you, its your job to pay them. I frankly don't care, its more about the principle of it then the ad itself. You need to read up on your advertising because when it says " get Premium, no ads" you are frauds. FILTHY CROOKS
