Spotify Premium now includes Hulu (Ad-version) for no extra cost (US only)
- Thread starter GK86
- Start date
I mean... no, not 6... but back when I first went ad-free... it was often at least 3 ads per break. also this takes into account the increased ad breaks in shows.. up to 5 now for hour long shows, and 3 for 30 minute shows, where it was 3 for hour long shows and 2 for half hour shows (not including intro and outtro in either the before or after, which is another break each)
so usually at least 10 minutes for an hour long show.. and 6 minutes for a half hour show. aka 25-30% extra time per show.. that's significant. (refactored my percentages based on the actual run times of 22 min and 44mins.. still old school thinking about half hour blocks)
But it also says in the link:
And when you click what if I already have Hulu, it sends you to here:
How do you trigger those steps if you've already got Premium?
no
limits seem to be
ad-supported Hulu only
US-only
non-Family Spotify only
don't get me wrong. awesome perk for those who find themselves getting Hulu for free all of the sudden. But man... no way I would go back to commercials.. f'that..

If you already have Spotify + Hulu, you don't have to do anything. Next billing cycle it will be $10.
If you have spotify premium, go to your account page, on the left side:
Click your services and activate it.
Wow. Spotify + Hulu for $10? That's a damn good deal. I just activated it on my account.
But as someone that has never used Hulu, is it just another Netflix-type app, and not a streaming TV service like YouTube TV, Direct TV Now, or Playstation Vue?

Correct, but they have some shows the day after they air on TV.
Shame they aren't giving it to family plans, but Sprint already gave me the hookup with Spotify. Spotify did give me a free google home mini around Christmas which was nice.
No discount for ad-free version

Pen15 is great. If you haven't seen these shows: Atlanta, Broad City, Black Sails, Drunk History, Black-ish, Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Older stuff: Married with Children, The Wonder Years, Buff the Vampire Slayer, Futurama, Seinfeld.
If I already subscribe to Spotify (family) and Hulu premium, can I get an advantage out of this?
yeah, I've been using my wife's so that we get both because mine expired in January. I might just do this for myself.
They've had this with their Student Premium program for a while. Hopefully the pass over the free Showtime sub from that too
I don't really get the complaints....You don't have to use it. But if I want to watch a random episode of 30 Rock it's only on Hulu now, but I can't justify paying for it for that.
Its just a lackluster experience thats all. No different than using Spotify Basic
Sure, but I listen to music a hell of a lot more than I watch TV so I can justify it for Spotify but not for Hulu. Hulu with ads used to be free and I used it from time to time and then they made it unavailable as a free product, unlike Spotify Basic which is still available free.
