Given that I use WordPress every week, I want to clarify some things. If you're going through WordPress.com, that's a service provided by a company named Automattic, who provide a website using WordPress the application. They handle all the updates/bugfixes/etc on their own, and inject their own platform-specific features.
Now, if you're savvy enough and want to host your own website somewhere, there's WordPress the web application, available from WordPress.org. Note the top level domain difference. This is the application that Automattic uses for their services, minus some of the extras that they "throw in for you". When self hosted, there's no prompts to update to premium or ads.
