Yup. Just how cable TV started as "you pay extra for it, but you don't get any ads!" and then when they realized they had everybody hooked, they started showing ads.

Same thing with streaming services. Pay money for a service with no Ads. Oh what's that? Now that they realize they are your primary source of content, they are going to turn ads on unless you pay extra? Boom, gottem.
