Not necessarily. Low tiers of Hulu still have commercials.

Yes I pay $.99 / month for it. The normal plan with ads is 6.99 and 10.99 without ads. Currently no other service has traditional ads

Honestly I don’t see how anyone is paying $75 / month for streaming services unless they are paying for sports plans, which most people don’t subscribe to. Most people subscribe to only 2-3 streaming services which probably includes amazon prime. That comes to roughly $35/month

I'm using memory for the prices VRV - $10 Netflix - $13 Amazon - $10 Spotify - $10 DirecTV Now - $40
The plan with ads comes for free if you have Spotify premium account.
Unless your account is a Spotify Premium for Family account (I just looked it up to confirm the word "Premium" was still in there). Which is a good deal, don't get me wrong. But then the Hulu thing doesn't apply.

A couple months ago there was an announcement about free basic Hulu with your Spotify Premium account. Unless you're a family, then fuck you.
