Yes, realistically neither subscription nor advertisement is likely to bring in a lot of money. My guess is that they want to do things the "37 signals" way, and that means acting as though advertising isn't "realistic".
"The one caveat was that each project must have to have a clear and realistic path to monetization (for example: subscription, not advertisement)"
I don't think an advertising monetized startup is unclear or unrealistic and it means that you discount a lot of ideas from the start.
