I used to point this out about Hulu probably close to a decade ago on reddit and would get endless comments about how "it's just a few shows," "i never see any ads," and "it's not their fault." I wonder if those same people exist here.

There's literally nothing compelling these shitty companies to advertise these plans as ad free when they do in fact contain ads. Just like cellular ISPs have no legitimate reason to call their data plans "unlimited" when they cap you after using a predefined amount of data.
