Nothing is guaranteed, but at least you are the customer not the product if it's a paid service.
I have very little tolerance for companies that double-dip though. I subscribed to the New York Times for a while, but cancelled, in part, because they still stuffed their pages with ads both explicit and implicit.

What are some of the reasons you expect a $4.25/week digital subscription to have fewer ads than a $20/week newsprint subscription?

You need to be explained why it's cheaper to publish news to a website than print physical papers every morning and deliver them to homes across the country every single day in time for it to be relevant?

Lmao show the numbers then. Is the cost of printing 75% of the newspaper- probably not.
Not sure how paying for this service makes it any less likely that DDG will flip a switch to make that targeted advertising money though. That temptation will exist either with a paid service or a non targeted ad supported service.
