Spotify Adding Random Podcasts to My Playlists

My Question or Issue

Twice now in the past couple of weeks, Spotify has added random podcasts to my playlists. These are not podcasts I have ever heard of, listened to, subscribed to or followed. I have spent a lot of time building my playlists, and it's a pain to have to remove podcasts that I didn't add. Make it stop!!!

p.s. Enhance is off, and there are no collaborators.

I am a loyal Spotify Premium Subscription podcast listener for the last 3 years. But in June 2023, these same podcasts I have been following opened the floodgates with Automated Ads (streaming ad insertion). 🫤Can't Spotify give podcast listeners less ads with Spotify Premium? I am turning off my paid Premium Subscription after numerous requests to Spotify Customer Service doesn't have the experience to understand that Automated Ads (streaming ad insertion) ruins Podcasts.
