The sad thing that sticks in my head is that, if you’re the person who could afford the higher tier ad-free experience, you’re also worth more to the advertisers than people who can’t afford ad-free.
so if ad-based free tiers are profitable at all, then they are going to be more profitable than the paid subscriptions, and ad-free options will go away.
