    I want to believe that all this is really saying is that if Hulu ever does a live event there will be ads but only time will tell

    And I am clarifying that as I continue to subscribe to this service, circumstances may require that my payments will exclude currency, and include regular visits to The Pir[REDACTED]te Bay.

    Edit: sorry, Rule 2.

    Hulu was my Netflix alternative. If they start showing me ads I’m done with them too. Hopefully this was added for live events, sports, etc, but I don’t know if they deserve the benefit of the doubt.

    Hulu did this shit in 2014. Never used them again. Hulu is crap, you are kinda getting what you deserve.

      I would argue all streaming services have gone to shit. I’m not saying I encourage anyone to pirate that doesn’t want to. But I am saying i don’t blame a single soul that does.

      As far as I’m concerned all those companies can go fuck themselves. They know that the less technical people will willingly keep paying so the ones they lose won’t matter.

    There’s no way that they should be allowed to advertise “no ads” when there are in fact ads. This is consumer protection so basic and obvious that it should be a slam dunk even with the current government… right?

    Often times the ads are included in live streamed content like sports. Sports that don’t have ads like older MLB streams just show a weird “we will be back soon” title card because they are just simulcasting the cable broadcast.

    Ads free but with ads ! So words included in a contract don’t carry the same meaning as in the dictionary ?
