Plenty of stuff you pay for has ads. Newspapers, Cable tv even Netflix are talking about getting them. The corporate imperative to serve the shareholder trumps all others.
- WhyNotHugo 4y ago> Newspapers Newspapers is free or dirt cheap. You basically pay the paper and distribution costs if anything. Those that do charge to read it online don't show ads to subscribers. > Cable tv The main selling point of cable TV was no ads. Eventually they started adding ads, and that's probably the reason cable tv is fading away. > Netflix Doesn't have ads right now, and if they do in future, people will just move away.
