I mean I don’t agree with streaming services having ads, but this isn’t really some new thing.
You’d pay 100+ a month for cable and be inundated with ads. Most of those 190 million “active” subscribers are either old enough that it’s basically just going back to the status quo or forgot they were subscribed etc.
Ad tiers on a streaming platform that previously didn’t have ads is new thing, and people paying for it can’t use the excuse they were unaware something like that existed. They are knowingly paying for the ad experience after having experienced the no ad experience.
