The argument you hear, is this is how CableTV started. Pay for Ad-free TV. Then they started a few ads, then they added lots of ads to to the subscription you were paying for... but people could not give it up. It's not altogether unreasonable to make the comparison.

Exactly how it will go down. People who pay to not see ads are the most desirable ad demographic of all.
