I am not a premium customer, therefore I get adverts during playback - which is fine.
However, today a new advert has started playing, from Fuze Tea. I have no issue with the product, but the advert is an ASMR advert, and also advertises an ASMR podcast.
Can you please remove this?! It's absolutely horrible. It makes me want to throw my headphones across the room every time I hear it. ASMR is a very personal thing for people, some people love it, some hate it, and I am in the latter camp. I can't stand it. If I am going to continue hearing this advert every 30 minutes I think I'll be switching over to YouTube to stream music instead. This is a physical aversion, not just a thing I don't like.

I tried updating my privacy settings and since then I've never heard this ad again. Actually I've started having a variety of ads, instead of lsitening to the same 2 ads all the time.
Might be just coincidence, but could be worth a shot. So here's what I did:
1) Log in to your spotify account (www.spotify.com), and go to `Account`, `Privacy Settings`
2) Tick the 'Facebook data' option. I don't have a facebook account linked to my spotify but it doesn't matter.
3) Untick 'Tailored ads'
i agree, it plays for me every 10 minutes or so and i have to mute it every time it comes on, it's so awful
I have no problem with ASMR, but for some reason I hate this advert, and want to stop listening to it every 10 minutes.
I agree, i hope they get rid if it soon, i personally cant stand asmr and when im sitting enjoying my music with headphones in and just chilling out, nothing ruins the mood more than this add unexpectedly coming on and being pumped directly into my ears! I just straight shut the app down while i wait for my body to stop convulsing.
This b**** is so annoying, that I had to make a script to instantly mute Spotify every time it comes up..
I started listening to a new playlist and it played:
1 song (around 3minutes)
Fuze Tea advert
1 Song
Another advert + Fuze Tea
1 Song
etc etc.
I am so close to just not using spotify with this advert on it. Will probably start using Youtube more.

Hi Daisy.
Thanks.
I absolutely despise this advert. I have been avoiding using Spotify because every time I hear it it drives me insane. Please get rid of it. For the sake of my sanity. It's EVERY TIME I have an ad.
Reese now also has one now. It's even worst because it's wet ASMR. It's a woman eating and whispering. I threw my headphones away from my ears.
