I had a similar reaction from in-law family members. The main reason was that they wanted to be able to see the ads that unlocked more gameplay time on their free game.

Just feels crazy to me, but I guess that's what addiction looks like.

In their case it may rather be accepting the subsidies, trading precious time for pennies.

Purchasing upon ads is the opposite. Trading dollars (and freewill) for time (along with painkiller to having to have personal taste)
