why does hulu have ads
Hulu also offers a sampling of ad-supported shows for free to PCs and a subset of the mobile devices served by the paid services. At $11.99, Huluâs ad-free option would be more expensive than Netflix, which is ad-free at $7.99. But CEO Mike Hopkins tells me that itâs still less expensive than HBO Now at $14.99, and close to Showtimeâs new online service at $10.99.
