While it isn't a perfect comparison, streaming platforms that have ad-subsidized subscriptions with ads (as the name suggests) certainly haven't been driven out by market competition.
I believe hysteria in this case is healthy, so we can end up with something closer the still fairly reasonable implementation of the streaming platforms, instead of the example here.

which ones don't have an ad free tier?
YouTube didn't have an ad-free tier for a very long time
If YouTube was forced to offer an ad-free tier due to competition that supports the claim above.
