    I assume they mean the live TV offerings, and technically the Hulu splash at the start of every episode is marked as an ad.

    But it’s still scummy.

      The Hulu logo preroll/interstitial isnt an ad but it uses the same system. I imagine they only mean ads in live TV offerings.

      They’re modifying a legal document, one of the most detail-focused creations *ever. If they only wanted it to apply to live TV programs, they absolutely could have. When people (or corporations) show you who they are, believe them.

        This is the TL;DR of what was updated. This is not the actual ToS.

        Not defending, just pointing that out.

          It’s… an excerpt, provided by Hulu from the full document, saying what they are allowing themselves to do with our money. It doesn’t have to be the entire EULA, word-for-word…
