Seeing as how the account overview page says "As a part of Premium for Family you will get all of the Premium benefits but at a lower cost.", I really hope this is an oversight!

Looking at the article and a quick google search I can't find information about this but also to be completely transparent I have a nasty cold and my brain is so foggy it looks like a scene from Steven King's "The Mist". Is there a discount/bundle for Spotify Premium + Hulu Plus (the commercial free option).
Heres' the actual post from Spotify itself. That links off to your services page Although apparently if you have a family plan it doesn't seem to work :/

I got Hulu with the Spotify student discount, and finally took a look at Hulu once I got bored of netflix/didn't have anything on there I wanted to watch.
Honestly, I like Hulu. I use it more than spotify right now, just because it has shows like Brooklyn Nine Nine, The Good Place, Community (you can see what kind of shows I like), and a couple others.
Commercial breaks are annoying for sure. Technically, I don't see the commercials but just a black screen for 45 seconds for some strange reason (this is after turning off adblockers). Frankly though, it doesn't bother me that much. It's a couple extra minutes of my time; if I can't spare 4 extra minutes per tv show, then I probably shouldn't be watching TV anyway. I'll probably keep using it just because they have continuously add new content, e.g., some shows will post an episode the day after it airs.
But seriously, if I can get 90% of my media entertainment for $10/month, then I don't have much to complain about tbh. Streaming services have been great for shaking up the market, but that golden age is probably past already - we've all noticed Netflix's price are taking an upward trend.

That 10,000 collection limit was the main reason I switched off Spotify (to Google Music) a few years ago. I like to add everything I enjoy so that I can just hit shuffle on my whole collection as a way to pick something to listen to. I usually just shuffle everything until it lands on something that catches my interest that day, and then I'll switch to listening to that artist/genre for a while.
I think you can get around it by splitting up your collection into multiple playlists (since it seems like each playlist has a separate 10,000 limit), but it was more annoying to do that and still ruined the "shuffle everything I like" possibility.

I used some kind of service to transfer my collection/playlists over, but I can't remember which specific one it was any more (and there might be better ones that have shown up in the years since I did it). I know I've heard people mention Soundiiz for doing this, but I don't have any personal experience with it.
IIRC, we used Soundiiz for the export of playlists from Spotify to various other services for /r/listentothis' best of playlists last year. @Amarok would know more. It worked pretty well AFAIK.

Soundiiz can do it. The only service it couldn't connect to when I used it last year was Apple music. I used a free 3-day trial account (and cancelled before paying) for the l2t bestofs. It had no problems except the playlists ported to youtube were a bit wonky because ye random cat video may have had a name/track that matched an artist. The copies from Spotify to Tidal, Deezer, and Google Play went just fine except for the occasional missing artist.
It actually has batch jobs and some fairly interesting programmatic features. One could use this to keep collections and playlists synched across almost all streaming services.
Offer doesn't apply to Spotify Premium for Family plans, for some reason.

Can I just get Spotify Premium cheaper instead of getting Hulu for free? Cause that's what I want.

I've been thinking about doing spotify premium lately, not sure I want (commercial) Hulu enough to pay for it though. How has your experience been?
