"The main problem today seems to be that the average Internet user (look beyond the HN/techie bubble) prefers free services with ads to paying a fee"

Is that true? Do more average Internet users prefer free services where their data is being sold or where there is advertising? Any citations on this? On average, what percentage of users on leading sites pay a fee to remove advertising?
