I remember when Hulu first came out and everyone kept telling me it was free. Then I'd try to watch something on it and it was only 15-30 second clips. Then I found out my friends were just stupid and didn't realize they're parents were paying for it

There was definitely a lot of free, full feature content on Hulu at the beginning though. I'm pretty sure it's the only reason anyone ever signed up. Streaming ads during the Netflix golden era was an unfathomable regression back to cable, but we accepted it at that price.
