"Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?

I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a "sponsored recommendation".

Why am I seeing ads if I'm already paying for the premium plan!? 😑

I use Google Play Music and it's been pretty good. Haven't noticed any shenanigans, no ads or anything of the sort.
- Boy do I actually miss that service. It just worked. And then they killed it.
- Is it not YouTube music now?
- I used that service but they jacked the price up so I quit and got Spotify
