Ben Thompson is a content creator. Even if Ben’s content does not directly benefit from ads, it is the fact that other content creator’s content having ads is what makes Ben’s content premium in comparison.

I would say that, on this topic (ads on internet content), Ben Thompson may not be as objective a perspective as he has on other topics.
