    Paying for a service is generally going to result in less of a push to monetize the data though, especially if it’s a smaller provider or a private company.

    We can’t just give up and stick with ad supported services, but then not want to see ads… Ad-supported services are always going to have to try monetize you somehow, whereas paid services don’t always need to.
