'Pay to remove ads' is such an awful insidious now common phrase. Give us money or else we'll do this to you. If you don't pay us, we will control your experience. We will force ourselves upon you unless you meet our demands. Modern day protection racket.
@TheBreadmonkey more insidious when you already were paying for a plan that didn’t have ads and then they put ads in and you have to pay more to remove them.
