    Previously, they did a black friday deal for $1 a month on new accounts, so I guess we have at least three more years of this barring a price increase. US Only, and this is for service with ads....

      Why does a streaming service you're already paying for have ads?

        I think the main thing is that they have current episodes of a lot of series, whereas Netflix etc usually have at least a one year delay. Still, to me it's not worth it. Not only do they have commercials, it's often the same couple on repeat and they get obnoxiously louder.

          It still seems weird to me. Either use ads or make people pay, don't do both.

            They actually have a version you can pay more for without ads, just to rub it in

              Hulu without ads is actually really good if you like TV programming. But they seem to push the plan with ads pretty hard (it's the only option if you want to bundle with Spotify or Disney+, for instance), so I assume that it is much more lucrative for them. As I would expect since they are basically double-dipping.

        Because it's really cheap. Even the ad-free Hulu tier is cheaper than most other services by a few dollars.
