I think many/most of the streaming apps do that. From the ones I have personal experience with:
Netflix: no ads
Disney+: no ads
Amazon Prime: both shows with ads and shows without- they tell you in the menu which it is
Paramount+: ads
Hulu: ads
I think the services with ads allow you to remove them if you pay more, and apparently Netflix is going to do something similar in the near future.
When it was just Netflix, and they had a large library of everybody's stuff, streaming was a viable replacement for cable TV. Now that every studio has their own streaming service and they all want a ton of money to remove the ads, it's basically becoming cable TV again except you have to pay a la carte for everything like you used to for Showtime and HBO (which both have their own streaming apps of course).
Wait, what? A paid service sticks in ads that interrupt what you're watching? Why would anyone put up with that?

Because the service has exclusive access to the content. Cable TV was originally advertised as advertising-free too.
I wouldn't put up with it because I have a sense of dignity and self-worth, but that's the reason.
