If I want content from content creators, I pay for it.
Ads is the old print way of getting paid.
Now, just restrict access and require a subscription. Have trial periods.
Why are you so focused on ads when it 1. Doesn't make sense if users can just block it and 2. There are better options for me to pay content creators?
If you aren't interested in my 'preference' you lose out. The customer is just trying to have a normal relationship here... Abusive forced ads are not normal... IMHO.
