Fuck you, Hulu

You were awesome when you started out....but now....commercial after EVERY video......and 3 to 4 commercials per 30 minute episode? You're little more than Network tv. I shall not be using you henceforth.

Yes, fuck you Hulu, for providing free content and requiring some way to pay for it.

nooooooo.......they started OUT awesome. Now...they've completely gone back on what MADE them awesome.

I don't mind SOME ads....but an ad after EVERY video........and a bunch of commercials during a 30 minute episode..........what's the point?

Especially with their completely retarded "rolling episode" bullshit.

I don't like that I can't embed their videos.

The point is that with a growing audience (and therefore growing demands on infrastructure and bandwidth), they have to move to ad-supported or subscription model. Hulu isn't a charity, and ad-supported isn't quite as lucrative as many people believe it is.

I vastly prefer ad-supported to subscription, personally.

Agreed. Hulu is great because I can watch things on demand, and even with the number of commercials per episode, it is still far fewer than watching it on cable - which I pay for.

I guess you can. I just had a blog pop up in my reader that had an embedded Hulu clip. I watched it right there. I'm not sure what type of voodoo Hulu magik ones needs to make it happen, but it can happen.

The commercials never bothered me on Hulu. I liked it because I could watch many of the TV shows I like whenever I wanted to, instead of on the network's schedule. Also, I don't have to pay $150 a month for cable, when I only watch 3 or 4 channels.

No porn? Fuck that.

I think you can embed to certain sites, but there is no standard coding like Youtube has so I can post it wherever I want.
You can't embed to SG for example.

Open another tab and pull up something to read during the breaks.

Yeah, it seems they have found a way to make you watch the fucking commercials after all.. It was like two 15 second commercials at first which was fine, but now they are like 30 sec. and then another 45 sec one after directly after that, and exactly, like 4 times instead of two..

pre-dvr TV = fail

$150 a month who's your cable company

Content not available in Canada. Eat a dick international copyright bullshit.

My point is that it's growing, and soon you'll be watching just as many commercials as regular tv and you'll wake up one day and it'll be 10 years ago.. you know, the, frog in boiling water scenario..

Exactly what I was saying....thank you. It's not the ads...it's the increased length & frequency of the ads that turned me off.

Oh I know. The whole thing is fucking ridiculous.

The CRTC, the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission, is what you´re looking for.

The CBC is the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. (public tv, radio, internet content)

Boo fucking hoo.

HEY IS THIS WHERE WE HATE SHIT

Have you consider starting a tea party like movement to fight those rules imposed by socialist, communist, usurper from Nigeria or some other foreign place? It is Obama's fault!!!!!

Your plugs are worse than Christian Slater's.

No link = no plug.

If it was a plug it would have looked more like this:
