Just received a "We're Updating Our Subscriber Agreement" email, which includes the following:

• We are clarifying that, as we continue to increase the breadth and depth of the content we make available to you, circumstances may require that certain titles and types of content include ads, even in our 'no ads' or 'ad free' subscription tiers.

Others are sure to follow suit.
