I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you also pay for cable. If I'm paying for a service I don't want ads also served to me using it.

Cable tv also has ads, though

They had the same amount as modern subscriptions back when cable was as new as the Internet is today

If you’re paying for the cable package, yeah. But then you also have the free local channels. Most sites don’t require you to pay for them.
