- sparky_z 10y agoI bet that the original licensing deals had terms based on "share of ad revenue". They had to renegotiate all their contracts to offer the ad-free tier, and not all the content providers played ball.

One can not like ads, but have the expected total disutility experienced in Hulu-based ads on the $7.99 plan that would be avoided on the $11.99 be worth less than $4/month, in which case the rational choice would be to not upgrade to the ad-free tier.
