Doubtful.
Doubtful. Many websites across the Internet are ad-free when you pay for it, such as Ars Technica [1] and Slashdot [2]. Many apps do the same thing, offering In-App Purchases of "Disable Ads, $0.99". People wouldn't offer the option unless (1) they're inept and illogical or (2) it actually makes money. I'm willing to bet it's the latter. And even then, people love getting rid of ads. Whether you're blocking them with AdBlock Plus [3] or blocking things in a hosts file or firewall [4], or even just pirating things outright [I'm not posting a link to TPB], people hate having their minds filled with garbage. It's a waste of time, waste of space, and honestly will just disappear asymptotically. It will probably never leave us entirely, but it will effectively be gone (as far as I know).

I don't want to Godwin this thread so early, but you know what analogy I'm thinking of.
Some people don’t use AI and I don’t get it.
