My main worry is not so much this change, but rather when they decide that this also applies to Premium. I've been paying for a bit, and run an ad blocker. I'm concerned that it will be too tempting start putting ads back into Premium and require ad blockers be disabled. Of course I'm speculating, but this is the scenario where I'm out.

I could also see them splitting Premium into "Basic Premium", "Grand Premium", and "Ultimate Premium" where one shows some ads and the other shows "minimal" ads.
