Since many services now split into two tiers with a cheaper option for no ads, maybe ads showing up in no-ads tier won't happen. There really wasn't the possibility to do that before streaming (multiple cable channels I guess could have been done). I pay for ad free YouTube, HBO, and Netflix (although often cancel for awhile when nothing on the service interests me). Ads for other shows on the service at the beginning of shows/movies that I can fast forward through is the most ads I will tolerate.
- lfowles 4y agoNo such luck. The Hulu no-ad tier still has ads for a select few shoes.
- pests 4y agoThat's due to contract reasons. Hulu keeps a list of shows they are required to show ads on: https://help.hulu.com/s/article/no-ads-exceptions https://help.hulu.com/s/article/no-ads-exceptions
- autoexec 4y agoContracts the wrote themselves for themselves. Disney owns Hulu and ABC and ABC owns Grey’s Anatomy. They aren't being forced to show ads. They chose too.
- thewebcount 4y agoYeah, that’s really weird because my spouse and I watched a few seasons of it ad-free on Netflix. I think they had something like 16 seasons available, all ad-free. It seems really odd that the company that produced it couldn’t make it also ad-free.

- autoexec 4y agoShe created it, but doesn't own it. She sold the rights away to ABC/Disney/Hulu
- pests 4y agoGrey's might have had a contract with an advertiser or other promotional partner that required them to show certain ads during the show.
- kgwxd 4y agoI think all but Netflix show a preview for another show on the service before the thing I actually want to watch, I count that as an ad.
