I hate how many ads they push for podcasts and singles on the premium tier. Full screen. IDGAF, I just wanna listen to my music. Bracing for a wave of new duo ads, podcasts about a woman who sat on a fork or some BS like that, and artists I dislike. Now with AI translations :|

You pay for premium and they're still serving you ads?

Every day I feel better about never having used Spotify.

There is a recommended for you section on the main page, but you can ignore it. They aren't inserting ads into the listening part.
