Opera browser users had to pay to eliminate ads...

Until now.

With the licensing change Opera hopes to accelerate uptake of its browser,
"Removing the ad banner and licensing fee will encourage many new users
to discover the speed, security and unmatched usability of Opera"

ok,

... One side holds that ads be included as a revenue stream,
and to encourage people to purchase Premium subscriptions
... saying ads "push" FREE members into Premium.
... I say false.
... if the word was out that they would never see an ad on SiHub,
even as a FREE member, all of Raging Bull, Fools and Yahoos
would arrive here, and like that snow ball rolling down a clean wet snow hill,
it will feed onto itself as more arrive, more posts generated,
causing more to arrive, and eventually they will need NEXT 10
and switch to a Premium membership, especially if they can do
that a la cart and pay little to get just a few features.
No Ads. Better Browsing.

and what just might cause SiHub the same "push"
?
