If you're old enough to remember the start of cable TV, one of the promises was that it would have few/no commercials, because you're paying for it. I'd trust very few web sites to stay ad-free if they switched to a pay model. The money is just too good for them.

See Hulu, which says they still have ads in order to lower the subscription price.
