So, basically, ads are more private than subscriptions?

  When it comes from a hostile company, yes. You can mitigate the privacy impact of ads with countermeasures such as ad-blockers or provide fake personal information if asked. You can't easily do so with paid services because you need to provide real information for the payment to be processed. This requires mutual trust on both sides of the transaction.
