As I understand it, the reason that things like IMDBtv exist is that so not
everything is in one basket. Just how many subscription video on demand
services (SVOD in the industry parlance) is one home likely to subscribe
to? And because so many of them have minimal or indeed no advertising at
all,
This would be consistent with the observation that the ad supported
programs seem to be older shows. Maybe newer shows are more likely to have
negotiated a way to deal with subscription fees?

So, this starts to make sense, like IMDbTV has programs Prime could not
make available ad-free for licensing reasons. And now that you mention it,
i think I have seen a note on some subscription services that they are
required t o show ads for some programs.

Some content is licensed to only show on AVOD (ad-supported
video-on-demand) services so ads are required. That's the same way as
it works for a lot of what's on The Roku Channel.

Right. I do have Prime. But there is no way to watch most of the ad
supported television programs on Prime without ads.

I do understand how ad- supported television works, and why it would make
sense to offer that service. I am wondering why IMDbTV does not also offer
a subscription, non-ad option (as, say Hulu and Paramount+ does?

Their subscription model is Amazon Prime. They are trying to catch the
audience who don't want to pay.

While I will tolerate some ads to see classic TV shows not otherwise
