I happily pay Hulu the $12/month (plus tax) they ask for because it was an improvement over what I had. It pays, even a little something to the people and companies that are creating what I'm watching, it's easier than pirating shows, and I've not watched a single show with a pre- or post-roll advertisement. As for the existence of ads, I'd prefer that if they do exist, they run before and/or after the show. It's the interruption of the story that I don't like. Frankly, this is the same reason why I pay DirecTV NOW the $35 that they ask for. I get what I'm interested in--with DTVN, it's live TV for the times in a month that I want it--for far less than I was paying and the experience is equivalent or better than what I had before. For me, it's "just television." I don't hate or love it. It's moving pictures that tell a story or inform or just throw out jokes. Sometimes all three. If I can get a better deal with more flexible access (and I can and have), awesome.
