Advertisements are the backbones of a business. In this internet world, it has been taken almost all the platforms. I know you’ll see ads during watching your favorite movies on Hulu. But when compared to other streaming platforms ads on Hulu are a little bit louder that can penetrate our ears.
If you are a person of having sensitive ears, it’s intolerable.
Let’s break down why are Hulu ads so loud, and look at whether is there any solution to minimize such irritating loud noise.
Hulu ads (also called Hulu commercials) are created with louder sounds to pick your attention to the product. This is purely a business trick. Advertisements will reach many people when having loud audio. Since Hulu has millions of users, a huge benefit will get for advertisers when a very small percentage of people pay attention to the ads.
Basically, Hulu is an ads-driven service, that’s why they can provide their content for the lowest price. You can take other competitive services available in the market to compare the pricing, Hulu provides premium subscriptions as low as possible.
Why Hulu has so many commercials?
Like any other streaming platform, commercials are the primary source of income. They have huge expenses to run such a platform because they need to buy content from the creators, salaries for the employees, etc.
In addition to revenue from ads, they earn from the subscription charge too but they charge only the lowest price when compared to another similar type of service. That’s why they mostly rely on commercials for their revenue.
Since Hulu provides high-quality and popular content through its service, it should depend more on ads. Since their commercials are so loud and attract attention from the audience, the advertisers are interested to run their ads through this service.
As a consequence, they get more ad opportunities.
During the complete streaming of a show, there will be almost 5 – 7 ad breaks. It goes more than that if the content has more length.
Like in Youtube, and other services, we can’t skip the advertisement. This also makes irritation. But it may not be a problem if the ad sound is on a minimum volume.
How to avoid Hulu commercials or minimize the ad volume?
There are a few methods you can simply get rid of the ads or minimize the volume.
For smart TV users
If you are watching Hulu on a smart TV, then you can make use of the Auto volume feature to minimize the Hulu commercials. Basically, auto volumes on smart TVs are used to control the volume fluctuations while changing the channels.
You can turn on this feature on your smart TV to not suddenly increase the volume of ads during the show. Normally this feature can be found on your TV settings and the navigation through the menu is different on different brands of smart TVs.
Check Settings>>Sound on your TV. and turn it ON.
For those who watch Hulu on a web browser or computer
If you are using the Hulu web platform, then there is a Google chrome addon or extension available to get rid of the commercials.
I tested the Hulu ad skipper | Blocker on my Google chrome and got the best result. If you are using other browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc, I suggest you move to Google Chrome for watching Hulu content even though the same addon is available for Firefox too.
Subscribe to Hulu’s No-ad package
If you can’t get any satisfactory results by applying the above-mentioned methods, you can completely ignore Hulu commercials by subscribing to their ad-free package for a cost of 14.99$ per month (Recently increased 2$). For testing this package, they provide a 30-day free trial.
However, Hulu’s no-ad package will completely remove the ads. Instead, some of them will show at the beginning and end of a show. The ads between the show will be eliminated.
The explanation for why Hulu shows ads even though you pay is that, according to the streaming rights, the streaming library will add a short ad breaker between the starting point of each content.
Can you skip Hulu ads?
There is no SKIP ADS option available when streaming a commercial on Hulu. But you can apply some tricks to skip them. When the advertisement starts showing, change the playback quality on the screen. Sometimes, the ads skipped and start streaming the content.
Alternatively, when ads start playing, close the video player and re-open it.
