You'd be trading cpu cycles, which consume power, which cost money. So you're trading money for an ad-free experience. You're paying actual money to remove adds.

And doing it with a cpu that's not particularly efficient compared to asics.

You're better off just paying money.

14$ is more than they make off me by showing me ads. Trading CPU cycles seems more fair because it's only when I'm actually using the service.
