To be honest, I don’t care how things will go in the future: at the moment, I’m paying, now, to not experience ads, and I’m hoping that my purchasing decisions in this vein will encourage the sort of behaviour I want. If hosts start incorporating ads into their patron podcasts they’ll lose my $5/mo and receive a polite but firm note explaining why.
