Hulu offers ad free option

Yesterday when I logged into Hulu, I was offered ad free viewing for an additional $4 a month. It took me about half a second to say yes. Jokes on them, I have been saying for months that I would pay $5 to not have ads.

and it was awesome.

They did say that there were a few shows (they listed them before I confirmed) that their contract with them meant they couldn't go completely ad free but they would show one at the beginning and one at the end or something like that. Only show on the list that I watch is Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The only commercial I've seen is on Marvel Agents of SHIELD and I knew before I confirmed the higher price that there would be commercials on that show. There was one (and only one) at the beginning and one at the end. The show still ran from beginning to end with no commercials. Otherwise, every show is commercial free and it's awesome. Totally worth the $4.
