Do blue checks not see ads? I agree, when a service is subscription/donation only, it's way better. But if any part of the business model is ad based, it's shit, and paying to hide them won't make it any better.

no joke

Imagine paying and still seeing ads... smh

Well that's incredibly stupid. Removing ads is usually the reason I'm paying for a service. Ironic that I as a non-paying user see less ads than the ones that are paying for it.
