Prime Video will still have an ad free tier. Having a cheaper tier that is subsidized with ads allows for more people to be able to afford it.

This isn't like Netflix where a cheaper, inferior plan was introduced. They're taking the current ad-free service introducing ads to it.
You're going to have to pay an additional $3/mo for no ads along with your existing $15/mo (Prime), $139/yr (Prime) or $8.99 (Prime Video only) plans.
This doesn't look like subsidizing to me. To me it looks more like "pay us more because we can do whatever we want".
