The problem is capitalism. Every business has to grow like a cancer, otherwise it's considered a failure. The problem with "free" in capitalism is that it's never really free. Look at over-the-air television. It's "free". Broadcast networks make billions of dollars in profits each year. But, in capitalism, that is never enough. It's always got to be more. So, the number of commercials per hour has increased dramatically over the years, while quality of programming has diminished, with scads more reality shows than scripted. Hulu faces the same economic pressure. When it started, network execs just wanted eyeballs. Now that eyeballs have found Hulu, execs want just a bit of cash. When they have a bit of cash, they'll want even more. Eventually, like most corporations under capitalism, the quality of the product becomes so diminished that eventually, it's undesirable. It is inevitable that Hulu will suffer the same fate. Offering an additional advertisement may bring enough additional profit this year, but what about next year? The problem is capitalism.
