Premium plan and still listen to ads

[simaocunha]

Hello!

I have premium, and I still listen to ads during podcasts, I know it belongs to the podcast provider but, and this is my opinion, to a premium user those ads shouldn't exist, or at least made the podcast provider pay to have that ad, or making a discount based on how many ads a premium user listen per month.

Hey @simaocunha!

Thanks for posting in the Spotify Community.

While the Spotify app doesn’t play ads that interrupt the music listening experience of Premium subscribers, some podcasts on the platform may include third-party advertising, host-read endorsements or sponsorship messages in their episodes. There’s more info about this here.

About your suggestions on how to handle those podcast ads, if you'd like, you can go ahead and create an idea about this on the relevant idea board. Here you can read more on how ideas work.

I also suggest checking this help article for useful tips on how to submit an idea.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
