Some people say they literally don't use Hulu because the TV shows have commercials. They act like they've never watched TV before.

Commercials on Hulu allow it to cost less than Netflix, and more importantly have much better content.

I pay for streaming specifically so I get my stories uninterrupted, on demand, and without ads

I bet there's some way to get around the ads anyway.

There is/was one for Spotify if you used it on Android. Root, xposed, throw a module on there - free premium without ads.

Is TC old enough to remember that cable was once ad free too? Paid services having ads on top is double dipping. Some companies even triple dip by selling your information directly to interested parties.

So?

If you buy a DVD, there's no commercial breaks.

Why is there one on a streaming service that you pay money for?

^ Hey now that's completely unfair.

Hulu is pretty good about that; playing it with an adblocker might still block the ad, but it just gives you an error message for 120 seconds saying "we use ads to help keep costs low, pls turn it off"

All in all, a better alternative to being yelled at by commercials, but you still gotta wait

That's true, I think all of the ads are designed for millennials, so they are more annoying than unusual

If I had to choose Netflix or Hulu, I would still take Hulu every time

As I posted before, ads were not always in paid service. It's double dipping that we've allowed ourselves to be OK with.
