Unfortunately, if you're willing to pay for an ad-free service, I suspect you're far more valuable to advertisers than any reasonable amount you could pay to be exempt.
You are forgetting the alternative that is no ads.
> Why don't people just pay the $10/month if you consume enough for ads to annoy you?No such option exists
I hate ads. So I just paid for premium. I don't get why people expect to be able to reject ads and reject paying for the service at the same time. Obviously that was always unsustainable.
Why would I pay for this when there are still ads?
They serve you adverts even if you pay, so that disqualifies them for me.
If you're willing to pay 50% more for no ads, they wouldn't let you. Since you're the target.
Ads are not always for clicking. If you don't want to see ads than you should pay for content or leave.
Are you willing to pay the ads away?
You’re paying for content not ad free. Maybe they will make us pay twice. Once for the service, then next level to remove ad.
