I canceled my subscription due to their insistence on ads at any level of support (I asked their customer service about it). Stuck with the Washington Post which seems to be okay with charging more and displaying zero ads.

Was this an additional option or higher subscription? I currently have a Washington Post subscription and, with my ad blocker disabled, see plenty of ads.

In the EU, there's a WaPo subscription level that explicitly touts "no on-site advertising or third-party ad tracking" as a benefit: https://imgur.com/yWPXBYe

Oh, sorry, this is all on the respective Android apps. On the NYT app, there were ads inserted between some paragraphs of the articles.
