Won't people who hate ads just choose to cut out the middleman and use 4o mini on their own?

What makes you think it won't have ads or "sponsored" content?
There may well be tiers like on NFLX, where some are ad-sponsored and some are not. But seeing as how rapidly the free/open models catch up to prior-generation proprietary models, I doubt there will be much margin or room for ads on anything but the latest/greatest.
