What's not to understand? Spotify doesn't control the ads baked into content. They control their ads. They can't remove the ads in podcasts. Paying for YouTube Premium doesn't remove ad reads from the creator.
Your options are to support the podcast directly for an ad free experience if it exists, listen to the podcast anyway, or stop supporting podcasts that do this by not listening to them.
