    My personal rule is that I seek out a product/service, not the other way around. And ads really annoy me because they’re not useful, they’re just trying to sell me something, or get me to sell myself (looking at you, TikTok).

      And they inevitably turn every service into an ad delivery service. Thus, enshitification. Subscription services directly convert the utility of the application into revenue. It will always make a better platform, but it might not scale as well.
