And yet, this language is used to collect ad information on paid subscribers. So it’s 100% bullshit still.

When did they ever claim to you that subscribing meant you wouldn't see ads anymore?

You know that if you subscribe to the print version it has ads in it too, right?

Anyway ads in any form still produce perverse incentives for a supposedly journalistic entity—I don’t know how anyone can read a newspaper that takes ad money and consider it unbiased.
