I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a “sponsored recommendation”.
Why am I seeing ads if I’m already paying for the premium plan!? 😑

Convenience really is what you buy with your data/attention in a lot of these cases.
Facebook makes it more convenient to keep in touch with people even though you could reach out and stay in touch via email.
Google maps makes it more convenient to navigate but clearly people used to be able to get along without it.
People are addicted to convenience and companies know that.
