Why do shows made for streaming companies still have obvious commercial breaks?
In: Other
Some streaming shows still end up syndicated on cable. The last two seasons of Brooklyn 99 are an example of that. The last two seasons were produced by Hulu, but you can still see those episodes on comedy central. And syndication might be the plan before filming even starts. Shows that are hoping for future syndication might add those breaks in there.
Also, it’s been a long time coming, but it’s finally here, streaming services are adding ads.
I remember Hulu in particular used to be free if you watched commercials, but that’s been dead for a long time. Now they’re going to a cheaper subscription with commercials and a more expensive subscription to maintain no commercials. They need somewhere to put those ads. So they’ll write ad breaks into their content.
