Those services will eventually add advertisements even for paying customers. It's just a matter of time. Cable's initial idea was TV without ads. Now all you see on Cable is ads. In the future all companies will have to do is offer an equivalent service ad-free in order to be innovative. |

Whenever I see people that believe that ads vs paid is a either/or proposition, I utter "Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it". It is much more likely that Uber will both charge and display ads; than to give people alternatives on how to fund their ride.
I am old enough to actually remember cable without ads. Maybe this is the main reason I feel completely okay with the morality aspects of using ad-blockers or pirating movies/shows I can't get on my region, or even downloading songs and trying to support musicians by actually going to concerts.
