So their solution to selling personal data was to offer a subscription so they could show you targeted ads. That feels like paying triple; the subscription, ads and personal data.
I believe it's either
a) consent to personalized ads and "enjoy" their service for free or b) pay to not have them collect data
So you're only paying once or twice.
I'm not sure they'll let go of your data that easily. They're probably just show you less ads but still collect data
