So far. I imagine they will be expanding it over time.

HBO started broadcasting 50 years ago, charging a monthly fee for commercial free movies (often released much earlier than on cable) and tv shows.

With the exception of filler ads for their own content that occurs when they need to wait for the next quarter time, ex movie ended at 12:55pm. There have been no ads

Aren't those called "promos" since they aren't ads, specifically as they aren't paid for?

It's the exception that proves the rule. HBO has always marketed as a premium service, while Netflix's goal is to reach every home.

I mean, also Showtime, Starz, Cinemax...

To say nothing of the fact that Hulu has maintained an "ad" and "ad-free" tier for their original programming.
