Why not! Hulu has been pretty good so far with having 2 plans:

- 1 cheap, with ads

- 1 more premium, no ads

It lets everyone vote with their wallet.

Except the "No ads" claim on Premium is bullshit false advertising, because some content still has ads before and after.

I vote for my wallet by not paying for Hulu.

Iirc, it's only a handful of shows and it's due to contractual agreements that pre-date the ad-free plan.

Oh, well, if they have a contract that says they have to lie I guess that's okay then. /s

But seriously, that's their problem, not mine; if they can't actually deliver zero ads then they can call it the "almost no ads" plan or the "no new ads" plan or whatever they want that isn't a lie.

Then Hulu should have renegotiated the contracts rather than resort to lying in their marketing.
