It's shocking, these days you can even buy a paid service and still be forced to watch ads (Hulu)

Not sure why it's shocking. In the same space, you pay for cable and still are shown ads. Same for movies at the theater. Though most of the ads are for new shows/movies to encourage recurring usage/payment.

Yeah it’s crazy. You’d think that magazines, newspapers, and cable television would’ve thought of this model.
