Why Does Hulu Have Ads Even Though I Pay?

Hulu has come out to explain after so many complaints from subscribers, the reason why they still show ads even when they are subscribed (i.e pay) on Hulu No ads.

Thousands of subscribers are displeased with the Hulu ads because they are used to uninterrupted streaming services, unlike Hulu.

Hulu’s “No Ads” subscription plan includes a disclaimer. The disclaimer claims most shows will play without Ads. However, this has not been the experience witnessed by subscribers because most shows on Hulu’s “No Ads” plan still show ads that cannot be skipped.
