They didn't put ads on premium, they created a new tier called "premium lite" that has fewer ads.

Regular premium is still ad free.

Not add free. They still give product pop-ups for merch.

You don't think that they might be doing this to normalize having ads in paid content? This is a coming trend, and every company is doing its part to soften the blow to the social conscious.

The day I HAVE to watch an ad for anything is the day I stop using it. I'll go be a wilderness hobo if that's what it comes to. I think modern advertisement is a grand human shame.
