    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.

      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.

      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

        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.
