No, ads exists mostly where people are not paying. Vast majority of paid products and subscription services are ad-free.
- ceilingcorner 6y agoWhich means that ad-supported cars will be cheaper then no-ad cars, impacting the entire industry and thus making ads a default. Just like journalism.
- handmodel 6y agoHard to see how this will be a real issue. Ads make sense on articles because the most they could possibly charge you is a few dollars a month. If they haven't made phones that are cheaper if you agree to watch an ad once a day before using it - then the dynamics for cars would be even worse for that.
- maeln 6y agoI don't know if it is ironic but: - Netflix has constant product placement in their show and show ad for their other show on their main page - Amazon Prime Video show you an ad for other show when you start playing one - A lot of "smart TV" have ad in their UI at this point - Windows has try to force ad in the OS UI several time and comes with preloaded junk - Most Android phone comes with preloaded junk (which is basically ad) And the list goes on. Companies have noticed that you can start to put ad even in paying product and secure a stable source of income and get away with it.
