Why does Hulu Plus have ads?

I'm just saying. you pay for a subscription, and isn't that supposed to be the reason to not have ads? so why does it have ads anyway?

for the extra money

I have never seen any ads when using Netflix. Do you watch stuff off of a dvd/blueray player? Because that's what I do.

I'm more pissed off with Sky TV.

That's a premium services and you have to watch adverts on its own Sky channels.

And furthermore, you can pay extra to have Sky Go and gain access to Sky TV and their Library on your Xbox.
But in order to use it on the Xbox you have to also be paying Microsoft for Xbox Live Gold.
So you're paying two subscriptions to watch this, and it still gets adverts...

Never had ads on Netflix.

Check for adware on your computer, typically Hulu is the premium service that has advertising that you pay for, not Netflix

[Night Fox]

changed the title and some of the op bc apparently netflix doesn't have ads. I don't use it on a computer so it wasn't adware, but I could've sworn I saw ads on the xbox version. whatever tho. still doesn't make sense for Hulu Plus

Hulu plus gets episodes as soon as they come out, so the ads pay for the lack of ads the shows would normally get. Netflix has mainly shows that have ran its course, which is why it takes a long time to get EPs for shows, if any at all. At least, I think so.

If I'm correct, you pay for H+ in order to watch on devices other than a computer.
