So, damn, they could offer a "leave me the fuck alone" subscription for $5/m and nearly double their income from those users.

Kinda makes you wonder why they don't... I guess it kinda looks like extortion

They want 10€ from EU citizens to not show ads, but it is doubtful that this is legal.

From memory, after a few drinks, the EU wasn't happy with their option of Pay Us or accept full tracking and advertising.

Wasn't that for showing ads that are not personalized?

AFAIK completely without ads. This is the first sentence from the link I provided in my previous comment:
