This leaves me somewhere between surprised and shocked.
My wife and mother love ads, they are always on the hunt for the latest good deals and love discount shopping. When I tried to remove the ads on their computers or in the postal mail, they protested. I think they are far more representative of the general population.
People have different preferences ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's the "pay but still get ads" thing that gets me, but I guess some people just want to pay the bare minimum.
