While I do not like paying for ads pretty much, Hulu's selection is so much better

I do enjoy watching a tv show that has all the seasons instead of just releasing 1 or 2

Seriously wtf Netflix?

I hate Hulu for the simple fact that it has ads even though it's a paid subscription. Fuck that.

I had to cancel Hulu because of the ads. One would be bearable. But now they have 3-4 per break. It's gross and ridiculous.

So does normal cable subscriptions. Hulu is still cheaper than those even if you get the "no ads" package.

"paid subscription" doesn't mean "no ads" though. it means whatever the service wants it to mean. that's a really ridiculous reason to "hate" a service, simply because it doesn't give you what you arbitrarily and incorrectly think you should be getting from it for what you pay. you don't get to decide that.

I get to decide that I'm not paying for streaming with ads. That's fucking ridiculous.

I know that's what I do. The only show I watch live is Raw and Smackdown, but that's because I HAVE to keep up to date because I'll get spoiled if I wait to skip commercials.

it's not ridiculous though.

what's ridiculous is millennials and their constant bitching and entitlement about ads. 10 years ago no one batted an eyelash about commercials. i really don't understand where such a strong and widespread aversion to something that's been the status quo for almost a century even came from.

Millennials just wisened up and said they don't want commercials. What's so hard to understand?

All he was saying is that he has the choice to not deal with a service that gives you ads despite already paying for it. I sure the hell wouldn't pay for Spotify if it continued to play ads after I pay for it.

Having tailor crafted messages to trick you into buying stuff shoved into your face is obnoxious and annoying

Having it happen through a service you're already paying for is even more so. People weren't as averse to it ten years ago because alternatives were few and far between. That's not the case anymore though so its pretty understandable for someone to say "F*ck Hulu" because they haven't modernized

And I think it has something to do with that every other paid service that has a free version and a paid version takes away ads once you pay their subscription fee, but Hulu kept the ads in. That's what pissed people off, there was a time that Hulu was one of the only paid services that continue to push ads on you. That isn't an issue anymore, but it also costs more.

@DuranOfForcena

Didn't see your post -

But yeah, the issue is that every other service took away ads once you paid, but not Hulu

Yup. When you think about sitting through commercials to save less than a fast food stop a month its pretty obvious what to choose. The other version doesn't even exist in my world

and no other service puts up as many episodes of currently airing TV shows the day after they air on TV as Hulu does. Hulu's ads are what make them able to do that, what provides them with the source of revenue to do that. with Netflix you have to wait a year or more for the show to come out on DVD, and then maybe you'll get it on streaming. that's not "modernizing". Hulu's business model is much closer to what "modernizing" would be than that.


I get all of that. I'm just trying to explain to you why people bash Hulu for doing it. It's because nobody else does, they were the only ones that had you pay and still made you watch ads. Online of course, we're not talking about Cable here.

Normal people don't give a shit about why Hulu has to spend on things, they only see that Hulu was the only one making them pay to watch ads, which sucks and is a valid reason to not like Hulu. Hulu has to do it, okay, but they don't have to like it. That's what I don't get coming from you. People have every right to be upset and not want to deal with that because it's NOT something they're used to, they're used to ads going away when you sign up monthly.

Not really. They released a "higher tier" version with no as because of intense backlash.

I don't mind the ads so much. It's the same 4 ads repeated every break that is really annoying. Makes me think they do it on purpose to get the 4 extra dollars a month...

That isn't what I'm arguing against. Maybe I'm just reading what you're saying out of context, but it seems like you're saying you're a terrible person if you don't want Hulu based on that. Everyone should be given a choice to not get it based on something that they dislike.

It isn't entitlement to not pay for something you don't want. You seem to be treating people like the plague because they don't way to pay for something, so they don't.
