Has Hulu always had the ads?

Yes.

It is annoying. Hulu's library makes up for the ads though.

Hoyt doesn't like ads. Hoyt would like to thank Scruffy for his contribution to this thread.

You pretty much have a choice. Pay for programming , steal programming, or watch free programming with ads. That's life.

Scruffy doesn't like ads either, but a lot of the tv shows he likes are on there and it makes it ok.

You still have ads when you pay for Hulu.

This is pretty much the difference between the free and paid Hulu.

quote:

The free Hulu experience only has a limited number of episodes to watch, while a Hulu subscription offers unlimited access to our full library including current-season episodes from popular shows such as Scandal, Family Guy, Once Upon A Time, New Girl, Saturday Night Live, Modern Family and many more. You can also watch every episode from every season of shows like South Park, Empire, Sons of Anarchy, The Mindy Project, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Nashville, Law and Order: SVU and many more. We also offer a full range of Hulu Originals – unique series you can’t watch anywhere else.

I think it is worth it.

I like the idea of new current episodes, but I'm not digging the ad thing. Especially since their competitors offer ad free programming.

It really isn't bad. You get 2-3 a show, 30 secs long. You can also sometimes watch a longer one before the episode starts and not have any during the show.

Like I said, the library makes up for it. For TV shows, it far surpasses the competition. I believe the ads are what allows for that.

In my situation, with anime, it has everything I ever need. Then you throw in the TV shows I like, and it really makes up for it.

Hulu doesn't have commercials on everything. For instance, the 90s x men cartoon is commercial free.

Better than I was expecting. Gambit is pretty cringeworthy though.

internet ads are not going away. Just look at how much this site has changed in the last three years.
There is a lot of money in ads. Hell it trips me out.
Each click is so expensive to advertisers. There is just so much money in it.

I would pay for hulu if it could be used on multiple tv sets, like netflix or amazon.

I've never had a problem with using it in multiple locations.

Scruffy, thanks for your post. I was was under the false impression it could only be used with one device. My know it all source told me he had confused it with sling.

Pays to check with the experts. Thanks again.

Hulu is a cable TV service masquerading as an internet streaming service.

Given that Comcast owns Hulu, this shouldn't be that surprising.
