I don't think people expect anything for free but I don't want to pay with getting bombarded with ads. If their business model is not viable then they have to find a new one. Just as we can't expect content for free they can't expect me to sit there and look at adverts out of the goodness of my heart. If at all possible, I will find a way to block ads out of my mind as much as I can.

Cable TV Promises.
Buy our service and get no ads. 5-ish years later, just like OTA.

Satellite radio, mostly no ads. Tune to the "laugh" channels ... tons of ads.
