@thatbrickster @kzimmermann Maybe, but ad-supported services have a long history. Juno's "free" ad-supported e-mail service debuted sometime in the 1990s with the slogan "e-mail is supposed to be free" By 1997, AOL's explosive growth had started. #AOL had ads everywhere. When I would go to close down the program, there would be several windows behind other windows (within the application's main window), most of which were ads or DMs from someone wanting to sell something or recruit MLM downlines.
