[Desktop] WHY AM I RECEIVING ADVERTS ON SPOTIFY WHEN I PAY FOR PREMIUM??? ITS DISGUSTING

I have Spotify Premium. I pay £9.99 a month solely because I do not want to be assaulted by endless adverts. I just received an advert before playing the Joe Rogan podcast. This is unacceptable behaviour from Spotify.

Silent first 3 minutes of the song "Illest MotherF*cker Alive" - JAY Z, Kanye West

Looks like the song length is roughly ~3 minutes longer than other sources so the silent part was likely added to the track somehow.
