The strategy to appease by finding additional revenue sources seems flawed. Regardless of these additional revenue sources, you're still leaving money on the table by not rolling back. Ideally you roll back and add the additional revenue sources.

To be clear, they shouldn't roll back. Because it's shitty. But that's the reason - "It's shitty" - not "we can add additional revenue sources elsewhere too." If you validate ads team's concern for revenue but then dont maximize revenue then you should expect them to be dissatisfied.
