There's other ways to make money besides shoving ads down people's throats. In the gaming space for instance we already pay for games, consoles, and services, yet they'd still love to shove ads in our faces on top of all that just to squeeze that extra bit of cash to feed the endless greed of shareholders.

If you pay for YouTube (premium) you get no ads. 

I'm not sure what current game you pay for that incorporates ads?

It starts this way, with ads to support a free service, then over time the ads creep their way into paid tiers to further monetise the base. It already happened across streaming services.
