No, people won’t pay for that. Especially: you’re going to make a free version of that stuff to attract people, and then use dark patterns to get them to sign up, and eventually pay to use your stuff. And that whole process is going to require pop ups and other crap of that nature that your potential customers wanted to avoid in the first place. Try a non-free ad blocker to see what I mean.
