Yeah we're like a decade into Hulu having an "ad free" plan that includes ads. I lump them in with companies like Verizon offering "unlimited" internet with data caps.
In 1990 Tele+ started as a pay-tv channel which featured only movies all day long, with no advertising!. It didn't take long for them to start having ads, although not in the middle of the movie.
