I pay for things, but often there is no option to pay. When there is, eventually the company figures out that they can have you pay AND show you ads. Then the argument becomes "well if they opt not to have ads, you should pay more for the privilege." But no matter the cost of a thing, you can always "make more" by adding ads and keeping the cost as is. So eventually, every service seems to decide that, well, you DESERVE the ads, even if you pay. Sure, competition could solve this, but often there isn't any.
