I’m fairly sure Hulu has done this from the beginning, right? I never understood the allure of paying for Hulu but still seeing ads. I just went to check and apparently you can pay extra to get rid of ads.

Recently Amazon has been playing ads at the beginning of shows that are offered for free via Prime. I feel like I even saw them when I had bought a season of a show, but it is now offered for free via Prime.

So far it seems like buying shows and movies through Apple is ad-free.
