to be honest probably not

If that is the case that I can not understand how a few cents extra from ad spots will make the difference.

Scale. You can monetize on the people that don’t pay the $200/month. Obviously I have nothing to prove this statement, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the subscriptions are loss leaders.

Advertisers will pay MORE per user than users will. That is why they are so valuable to companies offering freemium services!
