Do these services not offer a more expensive ad-free plan?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I'm sure they do, but I issue is they already were / should have been making a profit on the existing, bottom tier ad free plan. Now it's just price gouging by adding ads to existing tier instead of adding new cheaper tier with ads.
