I think this idea that businesses are only allowed to have one revenue stream seems a bit strange. Other businesses that are supported by payments and ads include: magazines, cable TV, movie theaters, newspapers, public transit, air travel, and amusement parks. If Hulu thought that people would pay twice as much for ad-free content, then I'm sure they'd offer it.

They do offer it and I pay it but it's thankfully not twice as much. I'd probably still pay it because they have great content. Though I watch a half hour a day on average and certainly have no need of it.
