    I’d say “sounds like a lawsuit”. After all, you can’t advertise something as no ads, and then show ads.

    But then I remember who is in charge for the next four years and realize they’ll just get away with it.

      According to a US judge last year, “boneless chicken wings” does not mean the chicken wings don’t have bones in them.

      They get away with it with that damned asterisk. So long as you put an asterisk, you could say this comment does not contain English words*

      * comment may contain some or all English and / or any other language words

      They’ve literally been doing this for over a decade, at least. There were always some shows on Hulu that the “ad-free” plan didn’t include as ad-free, though they usually only showed ads at the beginning and the end of the show.

      Another one that shouldn’t be allowed but is are the unlimited* plans where the * indicates that it’s not really unlimited.
