    It’s simply a more honest model - you get content, they get money.

    I would love to be able to pay for an ad-free experience for the various websites and services that I browse and use in a straightforward way instead of being leeched for ad-revenue

      I wouldn’t doubt paying a hundred per month to have an ad-free life.

      no ads on tv or sports, no billboards, no ads on buses. it would be awesome

      The thing is that first you pay in order to avoid ads, but ads will start creeping in on the paid version in no time. Some day you’ll find yourself paying and still seeing as many ads as they decide to push. The same has been done in other platforms. Cable TV didn’t have ads when I was a kid, “because it was paid”.
