๐Ÿ“ˆAdvanced Analytics dashboard

๐Ÿ›Ad-free for paid plans was not applying to participants
Pro and Business plan hosts had ads correctly removed for themselves, but participants were still seeing ads in some cases. This is now fixed โ€” ads are fully removed for all participants when the host is on a paid plan.
