I think the problem here is that the ads you saw earlier weren't bringing in enough money. Let's not forget that the model here is tv which has several minutes of ads every ten to fifteen minutes. A single 15 second skippable ad doesn't really make it work out.

Realisticly I just don't think the ad supported model works anymore, but also people won't pay, you went from ad supported to blocking instead of paying at least.
