If ad support wasn't proportional to screen time I suppose they could cut costs by placing a limit on users who cost more than they bring in but this is just weird. There's no logical reason to put a tax on your most dedicated users besides thinking they'll feel obligated to pay and won't instead immediately feel resentment
