Premium Sub yet hearing ads during podcasts

Premium Sub yet hearing ads during podcasts

I'm a premium subscriber.. Why am I hearing ads (2 of them 15s each) while listening to a podcast? 

I assume we pay for subscription to get rid of ads.. but doesn't seem so.

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.
