Right from the start, they did mention going to ad-supported eventually. It was (and may still be) one of the "sales pitch" points for Plus - no ads when they do arrive. It might be that they need to get enough users to be attractive to advertisers, I guess. That they've survived 2 years with only the revenue from the Plus users is surprisng.
