The most just way I can explain this: Imagine, you work. You make money and choose to spend your money on a product that's supposed to give you an advantage, maybe in life, maybe in a game. When that item you worked for is offered to people for free, it tends to anger people. While I don't have a problem with it, I do see why many ranked users do. It's not fair to them when they payed and other people can get what they payed for without money. If that makes sense. But I also see the other side, some people simply can't afford $100 ranks, and that's understandable. Finding a balance to make everyone happy is going to be impossible. Just be happy you have the ability to still watch ads, most ranked users are pushing to get ads taken away for ranks completely. Sorry, and I hope you get Legend.
