This was a big realization for me since I subscribed.
The big benefit of pay-for models is the path to revenue. Providing great content people want to pay for benefits everyone. The advertising model breeds click-bait, and the content writers have to be mindful of content that would upset the advertisers. I'm looking forward to seeing this model takeoff elsewhere.
I'm happy to trade (reasonable) amounts of money instead of selling my personal data or settling for a lesser product.
