How interesting their paid tier has no mention of being ad free
ads make them up to $20 a day, they would have to charge $600 a month to equals profits
I didn't realize it was that high- im seeing that the average is around $15 a month, but I'm sure there are whales that hit that $600/mo
The problem is that only your heaviest users are going to pay to remove the ads, so it doesn't make sense to price the subscription at any sort of average user. You need to slide the price point way up the distribution just to break even.
