This is really just the first step of enshitification - first they make things good for users, then introduce advertisers, then claw back all the value for themselves.
Or put another way
- "don’t worry you favourite thing will stay the same - we don’t want to mess with a winning formula!
- “these changes will benefit users!”
- “we have to comply with industry standards and best practices. please read our updated terms of service.”
- "in order to compete in a dynamic marketplace, we’re introducing an add supported tier!
- “we’ve made changes to our subscription model!”
- “we’ve made changes to our subscription model and we’re introducing adds on paid tiers! suck it!”
- “sure, you paid for it, but our agreements are expiring and we don’t value you as a human being!”
- “really, where else are you going to go? lololololol”
