You actually have the answer in front of you.

Yes, people signed up for stabbing services, with their monthly fees, to get away from ads. So, the corporations start putting ads in the low tier, meaning you have to pay even more every month to start free from ads.

Didn’t forget: “good” for the business is “bad” for you. That’s pretty much baked into the very foundations of capitalism.

i want to unsubscribe from the stabbing service
Ok, that made my morning. I hate my phone
