I simply refuse to believe HULU (or anyone) will be able make more money through non-ad subscriptions than advertisers. You can not tell me that they could get more than the £3.05 per month per customer which they currently charge. Ad free viewing is just a rouse to get people buying streaming services, when the subscription figures are high enough, they will pull the rug out from under the ad free viewing.
HULU have already said both ad free and ad supported versions are very succesful with both packages having a good uptake, however even the ad free version does have a advert before the show on some shows but not many, most noticeable is GRIMM and Once upon a time but those are the only 2 i recall. Even the ad supported version is limited commercials you'll get 5 1 minute ad breaks during a 1 hour show.
