Because they one day realised they can make you pay more and show you ads to get both of the moneys
Honestly this is why I fully back adblockers of all kinds. Companies associated with ad tech would do much worse if they thought they could get away with it

- sumtechguy 6y agoThat is exactly what happened with cable TV. Their main selling point was no commercials because you were paying for it. Now just sitting down and watching something on cable is a chore. I gave up and built my own library of things to watch. Was visiting some family and was watching a marathon of some show. It was the same 10 commercials over and over. Each break was usually 3-5 mins long. It was a good reminder of why I buy my own media.
- xnyan 6y agoI really can’t understand it. When I visit family/hotels with cable, its absolutely unwatchable even for free - paying for it is unbelievable to me.
- preinheimer 6y agoPeople who could afford to opt-out have more money than people who can't, and are thus more attractive to advertisers. They want/need you in the consumer pool.
