F2P games figured this out long ago, you annoy users into paying to make the pain go away.
- alyx 11y agoApparently there is a subscription version of Hulu on the way, which will be ad-free.

- L_Rahman 11y agoBecause the people who can afford to pay to not see ads are the users who are the most valuable to advertisers. The subscription price to run no ads at all is therefore likely higher than the ad supported one.
