I'm also incredibly confused as to how so many publications are clinging onto advertising revenue even for members paying hundreds of dollars annually.
A customer rep for The Economist confirmed they also do not remove ads and actually suggested I just install an ad blocker!
As far as I can tell, even the WSJ (which costs over $450 a year!!!) does not remove ads for subscribers.
The only publications I'm aware of that remove ads are The New York Times and The Guardian.

Like, where else can I get ads for watches that cost the same as my flat, airline seats that I would never afford, expensive MBA, or job vacancies for multilateral organizations. My targeted online ads are more boring.
