What? Since when does a Hyundai car, Windows computers or Seiko watches have ads? Those are not the categories of things where ads are tolerated.

That's not what the previous commenter was talking about at all.

Some platforms and services have been selling "no ads" as a feature. Say Apple or YouTube Premium or 100s of 1000s of applications on Android. This does not mean they'll never open up to ads in the future. Maybe a future "premium value" will just be "fewer ads". And when they do, they're more likely to generate sales because they're customers who are already paying for premium services.

Have you ever looked at a fresh Windows 10 home install? It's full of ads. [1]

The argument says "the more you spend the more you are worth to advertisers, thus eventually you will see ads". It doesn't add, "there are some categories of products for which ads aren't tolerated but for all the others this holds"

There's more than enough examples anyway where cheaper options have ads and more expensive ones don't, like airplanes or restaurants and bars.
