Netflix should copy that ad model for their service and offer a lower priced subscription that shows ads. The revenue they could bring in via ads would dwarf Hulu's and offset the revenue losses they would take by people switching to the ad-supported model. As I've posted before, they've probably already tested it internally and could flip a switch whenever they want to start showing ads. I will never subscribe to an ad-based service, I can't stand ads and avoid them whenever possible, but it could drive revenue growth as subscriptions slow, especially domestically.
