Hulu is one, if you need an example.

They have an ad-free tier still - it's just more expensive.
And it's still not "ad" free. They show all sorts of material that they can only license with ads in place in that tier.

And that's not even going into the whole "It's not an ad - it's a promotion for another one of our shows" crock of bullshit they pull.

Mmm, indeed. Although they began as a free ad-supported service. Certainly a peculiar case.
