Wouldn't it be fair if BMW at least shared the advertisement revenue with the car owners?

It's so ugly that they first sell cars, and profit from that. And then they utilize the fleet of cars to squeeze out more revenue, even though that was never part of the contract to begin with. What right does BMW have to do that?

If they found a new revenue source, it would be nice if they at least shared that with their customers. Now it's just abuse of their customers. Where BMW is one-sided profiting while the customers are suffering.

No.

I mean, I don't know of it's still around, but the ad-supported Amazon Kindle was at least cheaper than the regular version. So the customer got some compensation for being shown ads.

If customers have a real choice between ad supported and not ad supported then that's fine.

(And by "real choice" I mean that ad-free isn't ridiculously overpriced)

(And not a subscription fee to avoid ads)
