Sounds like you've never paid for a subscription to the New York Times! The Ads don't go away. And eventually when you realize they're just another ad-serving, user-tracking, biased, hypocritical corporation and go to cancel the service the same way you signed up (online)... Surprise! You can't. You have to call them up and drudge through an hour of their sales bullshit trying to prevent you from cancelling. NYT is full of dark patterns.

I'd need data from inside of NYTimes, or AFP, or Al Jazeera, or whatever to know for sure. But I suspect stuff like that costs a great deal of money. Subscriptions that would fully fund something like NYTimes, or WSJ, or Le Monde, or what have you would likely be unaffordable for the majority of information consumers. (Again, that's just my guess. I don't know?)
