    “personalized” ads. So does this mean if you pay $14 a month you’ll still get the exact same amount of ads but they just won’t be personalized? LOL

      I think it is $14 not to get ads at all. I think the EU directive is likely worded as such that it states if adverts are forced on users they must be able to opt out of targeted advertising. So his (lawyers’) thinking is to provide an overpriced ad-free tier to be able to say that there’s an option so he can force users to get personalized ads.
