There might be a temporary "gain" in profit.

However you ultimately lose profit if all your subscribers quit in disgust. That's what I did probably 4 years ago. It used to be pretty great for a while, but it got overrun with rightwing podcasts, for one thing, and also the AI-generated fake music. It quickly became worthless to me, I wasn't paying them $10 per month.
