    Why would paid users need to compensate for free users? This is a per user choice between ad personalization or a monthly fee. The “free” users will still be generating revenue the existing way.

      I misread how it was being done.

      That said, for the price, I’d expect it to be ad free, not just no personalization.

        The paid version is ad-free.

        The free version still has all the ads.

        Both will generate revenue.
