    They can’t charge their REAL customers, the ad purchasers, as much without the ads being “targeted”.

    $14 is unrealistic and will never be paid, but it means that it’s an option… So I’m guessing that people will be able to “opt in” to a free version with targeted ads… This whole thing is probably just a workaround.
