Enjoy driving up the value of your attention even further I guess. Paying money only makes them want to advertise to you even harder. You're paying for the privilege of putting yourself in a list of people with so much disposable income they pay not to be bothered.


I don’t really care about all the future hypotheticals. I’m not entering into a binding contract here.

I want to not see ads. If someone sells that product to me I am buying. If someone doesn’t offer a way to avoid ads I’m selling (like how I used to be a sports fan and now I don’t tune in ).

If I get ads in my premium subscription I can always cancel.

I think you’re simplifying customer demographics. I think that companies and advertisers know that the people willing to pay to stop ads legitimately buy fewer frivolous products. The people who don’t mind ads are the ones who can be reached. These two customer bases don’t intersect.
