People are now used to add free content from Netflix and prime and Hulu have reported success from their add free option. People have come to expect it now and will be prepared to pay a little extra for it. I think Harry is wrong; I can't see an add free option from streaming services disappearing.

And the Tivo Bolt has functionality to skip adds completely.
