Am I understanding correctly that the most expensive "premium plus" plan still has advertisements?
Funny... My ad tier sub for $50/year has none
I saw that too. It's crazy what people put up with
I used to point this out about Hulu probably close to a decade ago on reddit and would get endless comments about how "it's just a few shows," "i never see any ads," and "it's not their fault." I wonder if those same people exist here.
There's literally nothing compelling these shitty companies to advertise these plans as ad free when they do in fact contain ads. Just like cellular ISPs have no legitimate reason to call their data plans "unlimited" when they cap you after using a predefined amount of data.
