The trouble is advertisers aren't very interested in people who can only afford the lowest tier. Somebody who can only afford that isn't going to be in the market for a Tesla or MacBook or any other product.
The people who can afford the tier without advertising are exactly the people advertisers want to target.

Sell new ones etc. 3) Add really powerful, comprehensive features to ad blocker systems that absolutely beat all the ads, but they only perform well when integrated with new, up-to-date apple and tesla products.

Definitely not the main source of poverty, but a great target audience for advertisers to manipulate.
