I guess I'm weird because I pay for Netflix/HBO for no ads, but I'm on the ad supported tier for Peacock and Hulu. I guess it's just what I'm used to (I don't expect to see ads on Netflix, but I do expect to see them on Hulu)
- feoren 2y agoIs there a price point where you'd switch between the two tiers for those services? I mean, I guess if they were literally the same cost.
- abustamam 2y agoGood question. I think it's really just status quo. I got Peacock for free thru Xfinity and it was ad supported, but when I left Xfinity I just kept the same tier. Same with Hulu; my wife had ad Hulu before we got married and when we merged finances I had to reason to upgrade. But Netflix/HBO with ads just seems weird to me.
- nonameiguess 2y agoI'm on the ad-free tier for Peacock and have honestly considered downgrading because most of what I watch there is live sports, and they have natural breaks in play that the linear broadcast fills with ads, whereas Peacock on the ad-free tier fills with extremely irritating repeating elevator music. It's bad enough that I'd rather see the ads.
- abustamam 2y agoWow that is really irritating! I used to get peacock for free with Xfinity until I fired them, but I still watched (nin-live) shows so I kept the cheapest tier. Interestingly enough, when I watch on my TV they forget to show me ads or something.
