The ads are only for the free and $8/month plans. They basically added an ad-supported super discount level that you can ignore if you’re paying for the normal plans.
replyBut the fact that they've added an ad-supported tier this early into their life as a company means they're desperate for revenue. You start inserting ads when you're optimizing for profit, not when you're still growing. It took how long for Netflix to introduce an ad-supported plan?

replywhen did netflix offer a free tier?
replyI didn't say free. They've had a highly discounted, ad-supported plan for a few years now. It's relevant because OpenAI also introduced a cheaper monthly plan that includes ads.
replyopenai also has a free plan, which is the one used by >90% of its users.
the cheaper monthly plan just provides higher limits.
replyoptions 1 and 2 are not mutually exclusive
