> HBO and similar channels.

All four of them?

And Hulu's fake ad-free tier is pretty ridiculous.

Sounds like only 3 shows currently show ads on the ad-free tier: https://help.hulu.com/s/article/hulu-no-ads?language=en_US

Is that not the case?

It being a small number of shows doesn't stop it from being ridiculous.

Why do I have a feeling that you probably don’t watch any of those three shows and if so, it’s probably only Agents of Sheild?

I can't criticize Hulu if I don't have it?

you are complaining about three shows out of the literally hundreds if not thousands of episodes of TV shows that it has.

And probably knowing the demographics of HN, you wouldn’t be that interested in Greys Anatomy.

Something doesn't have to affect me personally to be ridiculous.

So would it be better for them to take those three shows off Hulu to keep things “pure”?

HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, STARZ on regular TV plus plenty of ad free streaming alternatives.

What ads do you see on Hulu’s ad free tier? The extra on demand content you get is from Hulu Live.
