Ultimately, the same thing applies to all internet services. If you're paying for a service by watching advertisements, they have to show them to you. I'll be an additional line in your mail inbox, mixed with the messages. Or an ad in-between the posts of social media. In between the list of news articles. And of course for AI serviced that include advertising, it needs to be the same.
