EDIT: can someone explain the downvotes? Is the TechCrunch story not accurate, or did I misunderstand the above claim regarding ads?

I upvoted you, because AFAICT you’re correct that they plan to reduce (but not eliminate) ads with the new “blue” model. I’m interested to see the degree to which they reduce ads for paying users: having a split ad/payment model is famous for producing “self-consuming” incentives, since the users who demonstrate the most purchasing power are the ones you promise not to advertise to.
