Advertisers have been jumping through hoops to navigate the streaming wars.
In the beginning, premium streamers like Netflix brought a new way to watch shows and movies with an ad-free subscription model. After seeing their success, non-premium streaming companies joined the race and introduced ad-supported subscription options, giving us household names such as Hulu.

This follows a rise in ad-supported subscription services, such as the lower-cost services from Hulu and a forthcoming offering from Disney+.
