It's the same market at adfree cities, ad free news sites and ad free movies.
The niche is well established and commercial entities proved viability at some scale. But there's a wall that stops it from ever becoming a prominent model.
IMO going past that wall won't happen organically. Perhaps if ad exposure (including brand and product placements) could be accepted as social level health issue we might see more realistic progress. The same way some districts just banned billboards and ad panels by decree.
People who can afford to pay for stuff to not see ads are the type of people advertisers would love to advertise to.
