I'm guessing they're going to use the classic method of increasing the subscription price and then later creating a new lite subscription that does have some ads.

these subscription models don't work. What these morons don't count on is that everyone actually hates the technology deep down. We don't want it! But it gives us a dopamine hit. And when they stack on subscription prices and lock up content and shove ads down our throat... well, the dopamine stops hitting and just get pissed. So we leave.
