Hulu will still show ads for some things, even if you pay extra for ad free. Pisses me off, they’re a terrible company. They’ll never get another dime from me.
Idk why you’re trying to tell me bullshit to something I experienced for myself, but okay. I can tell you that it did happen and it pissed me off, and it was enough to make me never want to go back. Plus (I’m not sure if this is still the case) they wouldn’t let me fast-forward commercials on programs I had recorded from their live TV programs. Even though I had also paid the extra there to get no/fewer ads. Something like $80 a month at the time.
I don’t know what the fuck you paid for, but it wasn’t the ad free service the rest of us got. They have a web page dedicated to explaining the few exceptions they had to ad-free. Live TV is a separate thing from normal Hulu. Are you confusing the two?
Idk why you’re coming at me, dude. Does Hulu pay your bills or something? Like I said, I’m just describing my experience, idk why you’re being a confrontational ass about it.
Maybe my language was confrontational, so that’s on me. You are describing something that is wrong, over and over. From what I can gather, you saw ads on Hulu TV and got mad since you are paying for no ads. They are two different services though and ad free doesn’t apply to the Hulu TV stuff. I asked if you were maybe confusing the two, but ignored that.
Honestly I don’t know why you care so much. This isn’t debate class, I don’t really need to defend myself to some rando on the internet who decided to make a corporation their white-knight crusade for the day. I detailed an experience I had with the company a few years back. That’s it. I’m not going back to them, because like most streaming platforms I think they’re shite.
Oh my God. Grow up. No one here even watched those shows
Edit: I just checked. It’s greys anatomy. That’s it. And it’s out of their control. Now, if you watch that show, definitely a deal breaker. Cancel Hulu. Otherwise, what are we even talking about?
They’re not great, but I haven’t seen any ads on ad free.
Their interface is weird as hell and it almost seems like they purposely bury things you’ve recently been watching which is weird.
It’s not on all things, only some programs, but it was enough that it upset me because they were charging me for ‘ad free’ and didn’t even warn me that some things would have ads.
Yes it does, or it did when I was subscribed. It was usually on reality type shows like HGTV or other similar things. I also hated that it wouldn’t let me skip ads on things I had recorded on live TV. They also have had shitty no-account sharing policies since before Netflix enraged everyone with their plan for that. I remember them not letting me watch from my account because I wasn’t at my set home address.
Don’t know what to tell you. Their services were charging way too much to be limiting features like that, and I’m not going back. At least YouTube TV lets you skip ads in recorded programs.
To me, it seemed to be any show that also showed on live TV stations or something? I didn’t know the exact reasons, but it did seem to happen with things affiliated with certain TV stations. But the fact that they do/have done it at all is enough to turn me off.
Edit: I haven’t been subscribed since probably 2021, so I have no idea how it is now.

No, bullshit. It was like 3 shows due to old licensing. This is not a thing

So yeah, no bullshit. Sorry to disappoint you.

Nope, not debate class and you don’t have to defend yourself. Yet, here we are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What are you talking about? There is literally no impact to anyone complaining about this. Insanity

No it doesn’t. At most it shows what channel produces the show you are watching and when to expect more episodes, and it takes less than 5 seconds

They used to do that for a handful of shows due to streaming contracts, but last time I checked (~2019) it was literally two shows. Is it more now?
He’s confusing Hulu with Hulu TV
