Sure. But with an ad-driven model, each reader brings in fractions of a penny per visit. With a subscription model, each reader brings in much more (depending on price and visit count, probably several cents per visit).

For example, perhaps it's only being shown on their help page, etc. Whether or not they lost actual visitors is another question.
