not getting ads on podcasts while having a premium account

[Irisbrentje]

I get ads between listening to a podcast. I talked with someone from spotify and they said the maker of the podcast can choose in their settings to play ads in between. I didn't have this problem before so the maker of the podcast probably changed their settings. I can't change my own settings to get no ads on podcasts because the maker probably gets money from the ads. I don't want this because i am paying for premium to get no ads. Does anyone else have this problem or is agreeing with me?

This whole thing is beyond absurd. I started listening to podcasts on Spotify recently. I pay Spotify's ridiculous price for premium. Why in the **bleep** do I still need to hear two to three ads before every episode and like three ad breaks in the middle of every episode?! It's just outrageous.

Spotify do not play ads on premium subscriber, however,podcasts on the platform may still include ads, either host-read endorsements or dynamically inserted ads.

This idea related to complete subscription change request and it's core fundamentals, requires to change how the Premium subscription works and what opportunities Spotify offers to Podcast creators.
