ABSURD amount of advertisements on podcasts

My Question or Issue

We all know that ads on podcasts are a HUGE nuisance, which could be easily solved by playing them only for free users, as happens today with music.
After all, I pay the premium precisely so I don't have to listen to ads.
But now things are getting worse at a level that breaks any patience.
In this episode
https://open.spotify.com/episode/0mXabn3rmsz5PA3pEIn2Q1?si=cop02q46TpmkcR4wxTSG4A
8 ads were played!
EIGHT ADS IN A PODCAST OF LESS THAN HALF AN HOUR!
3 in a row in the first minute, 3 in a row in the middle of the episode and 2 more in a row at the end.
When contacting Spotify support, I was informed that it is the creator who decides the number of ads and when they will appear.
With this in mind, don't you think this could cause "abuse of the platform's functionality by creators"?
It's already absolutely annoying to have to listen to ads on a paid service, and this amount only makes things worse.

Hello! 
I see that this issue has NOT been fixed since it was raised almost a year ago. 
I hope you have made the change to another platform. 
For the people looking for answers as to why this is happening to a PREMIUM "AD-FREE" account. It is because the "AD-FREE" clause only covers the music side of Spotify. Podcasts are a free-for-all for ads; the ads cannot be stopped, and Spotify will refuse to stop them because the content creators deserve a shot at their monetization efforts. 

Hope this helps.
