The ads are just another cost to the business, so that flows on through to the buyer, either through:

- higher prices

- worse customer service

- fewer features

- the company eventually going under as they get priced out of the ecosystem

You won't find many subjective comparisons & reviews of players in the ads (it will all be companies selling themselves) and you probably won't typically find any free or open source software either.
