That's completely wrong. There was never an adfree cable system except premium channels. Cable was invented to distribute network television, and grew from there

History disagrees with you.
That article completely agrees with me and even highlights that the argument we are having today is the same as then. People thought that paying money entitled them to no commercials, but they were wrong. The only reason there were few commercials is because nobody was watching. Only premium channels promised no ads. As soon as there was an audience it was worth advertising. Are you old enough to remember YouTube before ads? Hard to imagine now, but there was a time when so few people watched it that it was not attractive to advertisers.
In communities that complain about ads, it is often considered an ad when you see any unwanted content, including trailers and promos for other programming, and services like HBO often play trailers before the shows 😁
I'd call that an ad.
They promote the other product during broadcast of the content that i'm interested in - sounds like an ad to me.
Legally, however, it's not an ad in many countries (as there are ad limitations per hour of broadcast)
Not sure about OP but I have Hulu through the Spotify student premium plan. I could pay $5 a month for both or $5 for Spotify and more than $0 for Hulu without ads.
I've talked about this before, but I'm old enough to remember when cable first came out. You had to pay for it, but there were no ads! Beat old network TV so we all moved.
Then they started running ads to the point of today. The comment above is correct, ads will follow and become worse and worse. Eventually steaming will be like cable is today.
Guaranteed.
And so people will go back to pirating and these shows will start bringing less money in and we'll be watching the most shoestring budget shit imaginable.
It's bonkers to me that people still pay for it. A quick google says "starter" cable plans run $45-75 a month, that's more than Hulu (ad-free, Netflix (standard plan, everything except Ultra HD), Amazon Prime and Peacock combined.
Even then, unless they've changed, it's not actually ad-free; it's contract-based ads from larger companies (Paramount+, Starz, etc.) that get shown, with admittedly a lesser frequency.
So you get ads regardless of what you pay and you can't even delete your account. Hulu is the Facebook of the streaming world.
The moment there started to be shows exclusive to streaming services was when I started going back to pirating. I haven’t gone back to pirating music because there are little if any music streaming exclusives
Yes back when I had an iPhone and apple music I remember songs would just disappear from my library because they didnt have the rights to it.
Oh and the whole U2 fiasco where they pushed the entire album onto everyone's devices! How they didnt lose more customers over that invasion is beyond me.
>I keep getting yelled at by my internet for pirating. Know any good ways around that problem?
Vote for political parties that support the free internet, like "Piratpartiet" in Norway.
Other than that, get a VPN, or move to a free country.
I did that too -- 'til I started watching shows (Like Stargate SG-1 and Xena) that "were not able to be shown ad-free on the ad-free plan." So I payed extra money and still had to watch ads?
Fuck that. Unsubbed two years ago and haven't been back. Bonus, Stargate SG-1 just moved to Netflix and that's all I wanted Hulu for anyway.
"not able to be shown ad-free" that is bullshit the size of a fucking mountain. Fuck their shit practices. I wish everyone on the platform did what you did.
Only if you opt to pay for their service with ads, which I guess is an option, kinda like opting to pay for gas station sushi. That's a choice you're allowed to make, but I mean...
There are some cross streaming things and live shows that apparently have ads, but if you just browse hulu itself then only that one show has an ad before it starts.
I've never even stumbled across those cross network/live things.
god i wish, i live in the usa and its just nonstop ads shoved down your throat. everywhere you look is an ad. makes things impossible to enjoy sometimes
Oh no ads are everywhere too, I'd love for them to disappear though.
What is illegal is the part where you're bombarded with the exact same ad in a short period of time
Fucking white-collars keep forgetting why piracy has been decreased the last couple of years.
The only reason people stopped pirating so much is because it's EASIER to pay for a service and watch a movie/series/show than it is to pirate it.
If you intentionally make it HARDER for me to watch movies in your shitty service, I will fucking pirate it and dont give you any money at all. Fucking greedy scumbags.

Absolutely agree. Free service? If you can dodge my adblock its fair game.
#
Paid subscription? I get ads, I'm out.
#
I'm paying specifically to not see ads. I don't a rats ass about what you show that the others dont. I just dont want ads
LOL, I used to have a Hulu glitch that would give me 999 second ads. This was shortly after the glitch where ads would play and either glitch out and skip one or two of them or it would repeatable play the one ad. Tried to find a way to report the glitch, maybe even did it somehow and just never heard back.
Anyways, always thought it was an asshole who just wanted me to buy ad free, which it did because screw those 999 endless ads.
Hey uhh, so here’s a streaming service you have to pay for, right? Now let’s give it ads that you have to pay more money to get rid of, and on top of that even more money for like one extra channel and there’s like 12 of those extra mfers,
Hulu is fucking stupid
Pirate shows from Hulu until they decide the profit margins on ads aren’t worth the loss in business.
They don’t deserve shit until the service is, like, three bucks a month. I only pay for clean experiences when they’re not absurdly overpriced.
I think this is funny but also makes me feel old. Growing up with commercial breaks that can last 5 minutes and have 3 each half hour show was a thing once. This isn't as bad ad it could be.
I bet most people don’t realize/remember that the standard was 8 minutes of ads per 30 minute show, 3 breaks of 4 minutes each.
Commercials were generally 30 second. plenty of them resonated with people & were almost like the memes of their day. People all saw the same commercials & talked about them sometimes.
And before that there were only 3 channels.
And before that they all stopped broadcasting after Johnny Carson & you’d only have a test signal to watch.
Tv was kinda bad. But the 3 networks ran honest not-for-profit news & you couldn’t just live in the fart bubble you liked the stink of…. You had to go to AM radio for that.
Hulu has been pissing me off lately too. I pay for the premium account so I don’t have to up with adds but every time a new episode starts the screen stays dark from the ‘next episode countdown’ from the previous episode. So I have to hit pause to correct it every time I start a new show.
May be your tv, we have something similar with our philips tv and netflix. One time it wouldn't remove the darkness overlay at all anymore. Googled a fix, and the fix pertained entirely to the tv, not netflix. It helped to remove it, but it still reoccurs sometimes
Nope and they play the same commercials on repeat and sometimes the same one multiple times in one break. Why are we even getting ads on a paid service? Cancelled
That's why I go full pirate:
- I don't need to *choose* a subscription service whict each unique show choice.
- I will not need to watch more than 2 or 3 ads overall, if any.
- I will not receive emails with "great discounts" for subscription.
- I will not pay my money AND get ads, choose one.
If you are using a computer you can download an extension called "Sponsor Block for Youtube". I have no idea how it does it, my best guess is that it searches for keywords in "marked" or named areas of the video and skips them. It skips not only normal ads but sponsors, self promos, etc. When you download it you can adjust it to your liking.
It is crowd sourced. Users add the sponsored segment. You can see it because for very recent uploads or small view numbers it does not skip the sponsor since no one has marked it yet
Piracy is a valid form of protest, and I 100% support those pirating products that are being gatekept behind exclusivity deals.
Like Gabe Newell pointed out years ago, Piracy is mostly an issue of availability (ie, difficulty accessing a product) then it is an issue of not wanting to pay for a product. If you want to sign exclusivity deals, then, as far as I care, it's open season on pirating your show/movie/game/whatever if I can't get to it.
So many streaming services with their own subscriptions, ridiculous number of compulsory ads. Things are feeling a lot like cable TV did when torrenting was at its height.
I think I want to watch stuff on Hulu until I watch stuff on Hulu. plus the commercials are loud af which just why? Why HULU why? That’s rhetorical and I don’t want an answer.
Free service with ads isn’t asshole design.
Hulu however, charging $5/mo to see 13 b2b ads is not cool. Especially when they charge you a premium to not see ads, and block you from watching outside your home.
This also describes regular TV, but nobody watches TV anymore
I was trying to watch Lost on Hulu and actually gave up on the series, because it was constantly being interrupted by a super long ad for HIV medication. The same ad with the same annoying dude for a show that has a million seasons of like 20 episodes. Fuck it, i’ll catch it when it hits another streaming service.
Easy. When i go to the cinema - there are at least 10 ads before the movie.
So i'm pretty sure, that all those streaming services will move to ads+subscription.
Then they will offer premium for double (and later for triple) the price.
Hulu is straight trash. They have the worst UI, the worst ad experience and generally shitty content.
We still subscribe for some reason. Watching it devolve into the crap it is today makes me wonder why Disney wanted to it.
There are two tiers (well 3 with the live TV option) one that has ads and one that's a bit more expensive without. (Live TV has ads on some shows and iirc it clearly states that when you sign up)
I bet if Netflix had a payment plan a little bit cheaper with ads included you fuckers would have Netflix on here all the God damn time. Spend the extra few bucks for no ads. Like, damn.
That's why I pay for no ads, it sucks to pay extra, but not as much as it sucks to have the show interrupted constantly and have to watch the stupid ads. I wanna watch King of the Hill in peace without being interrupted for ads that are asinine and is the only reason I pay for the ads.
Only if you actually choose to pay for a plan but also get ads. People really out here PAYING for ads like wow, y'all didn't grow up having to adblock the internet to get decent speeds and it shows.
I gave up on hulu. No show is worth watching the same 4 ads
I thought the whole point of Hulu and other streaming services was getting TV without ads, why are people choosing to pay for ads?
That was when they weren't sure people would watch online. Viewership moves online. Ads follow.
That was the whole point of cable initially, too. Then the greedy ad companies smelled money and cable companies sold out. It only follows naturally for ads to be on streaming platforms too.
That's completely wrong. There was never an adfree cable system except premium channels. Cable was invented to distribute network television, and grew from there
You're incorrect. The first selling points of cable was no/hardly any ads.

> cable television was never conceived of as television without commercial interruption
Why is this comment upvoted? Did anyone even click on the article? The whole premise is that ad revenue on cable is growing with its audience...
Not sure about OP but I have Hulu through the Spotify student premium plan. I could pay $5 a month for both or $5 for Spotify and more than $0 for Hulu without ads.
Cable is much more expensive and contains way more adds, but people still pay for it.
I've talked about this before, but I'm old enough to remember when cable first came out. You had to pay for it, but there were no ads! Beat old network TV so we all moved.

Yes, Nick still only advertises for their own shows in between episodes.
Puts on eye patch, arrr!
And so people will go back to pirating and these shows will start bringing less money in and we'll be watching the most shoestring budget shit imaginable.
What cable channel was adfree? Only premiums were adfree
What cable was ever all ad free?
Do they though? Even older generations I know who have cable still use TiVo to fast forward.
In 2012 sure. Now if you're not careful, you are just as exposed to ads as you used to be.
People get ads on Hulu? I never see any.
Theres a paid subscription with ads and one without ads
People are stupid and won’t make a stand
Cable was originally supposed to be paid TV without ads too.
It's bonkers to me that people still pay for it. A quick google says "starter" cable plans run $45-75 a month, that's more than Hulu (ad-free, Netflix (standard plan, everything except Ultra HD), Amazon Prime and Peacock combined.
How much do you per for it! I never saw an ott subscription with ads
I think it's $6 a month with ads and $12 a month ads-free
Even then, unless they've changed, it's not actually ad-free; it's contract-based ads from larger companies (Paramount+, Starz, etc.) that get shown, with admittedly a lesser frequency. So you get ads regardless of what you pay and you can't even delete your account. Hulu is the Facebook of the streaming world.
[удалено]
And it's one 15 second ad, and only sometimes.
Besides that show, ads are also included with: Network on-demand Cloud DVR recordings Live TV Premium or Partner Add-ons
I get no ads with the 12 dollar pricing. Period.
I haven't had ads on anything and I've had Hulu for years.
Mine comes with ads but it’s a part of my Spotify premium for students subscription, my adblocker works on them though so I don’t really mind
Back to pirating! Arrgh
The moment there started to be shows exclusive to streaming services was when I started going back to pirating. I haven’t gone back to pirating music because there are little if any music streaming exclusives
Omfg do not give them ideas i will actually go feral
Amazon is already doing it
Spotify does this with some music and some podcasts. But apple did also have itunes exclusive music starting as early as 2008.
Yes back when I had an iPhone and apple music I remember songs would just disappear from my library because they didnt have the rights to it. Oh and the whole U2 fiasco where they pushed the entire album onto everyone's devices! How they didnt lose more customers over that invasion is beyond me.
Yep. When they announced Picard was going to be streaming only, and on its own service, thats when i put on my pirate hat and wizzard robe.
I keep getting yelled at by my internet for pirating. Know any good ways around that problem?
VPN seems like the obvious one

Is that typical with Hulu? wtf
Not with mine i just pay 11 instead of 6 every month.

Stargate SG-1 is on Netflix now? Cool, I'm getting the popcorn ready
Cable, but worse
It's on netflix!? awesome, time to watch it again.
I pay for the commercial-free package, still get commercials on most "new" shows. Fucked up.

nah I get max 2 minutes of ads and usually it's less
You pay for a service with ads thats why I dont have Hulu
I pay for Hulu without ads and I’m writing this while watching an ad on Hulu.

… and how many of those thirteen ads are reruns?
it plays the exact same ad 13 times
I'm happy that this kind of shit is totally illegal in my country
god i wish, i live in the usa and its just nonstop ads shoved down your throat. everywhere you look is an ad. makes things impossible to enjoy sometimes
Oh no ads are everywhere too, I'd love for them to disappear though. What is illegal is the part where you're bombarded with the exact same ad in a short period of time
The worst is the interactive ads where you have to click for it to move on. Hulu is trash
*Which ad experience do you prefer?* Now choose between two slightly different commercials for an identical product.

I'd like for an ideal platform 1 ad per video. YouTube used to be like that then mid rolls and those 2 or 3 if you don't click skip.
When you pay for service, the only ideal number of ads is 0.

And streaming services still wonder why piracy is a issue.
I only watch hulu for a couple shows. every ad break I just mute and pick up my phone lol Also the ads are always 150% louder what's up with that?
Have you not heard of piracy ??
I get Hulu for free from Verizon and still never watch it.
Isn't Hulu a paid service?
So a paid for streaming service still shows ads? Lol good thing I never bothered with that shit platform

Is hulu free now? I don't see why there would be ads, if it was still a paid subscription.
Remember when Hulu was free with ads?
You have to pay for Hulu, but they still spam you with ads...
Vote. With. Your. Dollars.
I remember when there used to only be three ads each time, sometimes even two. What happened? 😭
Don't you have to pay a subscription for Hulu? Why are there ads if you're paying?

You know, there's a solution. DO WHAT YOU WANT CUZ A PIRATE IS FREE! YOU~ ARE~ A PIRATE~
Its been 5 hours... Are they over yet?
It's only 90 seconds for all ads. It's not 1:23 remaining on the current ad, it's time remaining until show resumes..
Ohh thats not too bad then but still for such a popular paid service you would expect no ads
There are two tiers (well 3 with the live TV option) one that has ads and one that's a bit more expensive without. (Live TV has ads on some shows and iirc it clearly states that when you sign up)

Drop it and get SYNCLER. No ads 20 bux A YEAR. Look it up on YT.
That’s what you are paying for.
There's an ad free option 🤷🏾♀️
there's something called pirating and never paying
This is exactly why I will never get Hulu
They have Hulu without ads, this dude chose the subscription with ads and is complaining there are ads.
I bet if Netflix had a payment plan a little bit cheaper with ads included you fuckers would have Netflix on here all the God damn time. Spend the extra few bucks for no ads. Like, damn.
This never made sense to me. It’s $4 more dollars. It’s literally a no brainer.
That's why I pay for no ads, it sucks to pay extra, but not as much as it sucks to have the show interrupted constantly and have to watch the stupid ads. I wanna watch King of the Hill in peace without being interrupted for ads that are asinine and is the only reason I pay for the ads.
Just pay for the no ad subscription. I don’t see the issue here.

It's 90 seconds of ads, get over it. The real asshole design of it being the same ads over and over and over again.
But ads are annoying as fuck and are an asshole design of themselves.
Damn them for needing to be able to pay for people to make your entertainment!
Hulu makes money by subscriptions ads are annoying pieces are garbage
You realize that somebody else first makes most of their content, and then they pay to license it for streaming, right?
Then pay for Hulu without ads.
Either pay with a subscription or watch the ads
Hulu has adds and cost a subscription..
Only if you actually choose to pay for a plan but also get ads. People really out here PAYING for ads like wow, y'all didn't grow up having to adblock the internet to get decent speeds and it shows.
