Yeah, I'm big changes like great shows like the office and lost becoming completely unaffordable to make, and sports becoming harder and harder to televise.

I didn't say networks aren't making money. I'm saying to create quality programming you have to make money. GE makes a shit load of money too.. That doesn't mean I'm going to call them out for not charging basement prices.
I know there's limit on new episodes they add netflix. Yet there are tons of old series I grew up watching as a kid and now they're just few clicks to relive my childhood again. I was busted up laughing watching all the old Chappelle show episodes. Was I entertained? Yes... Was I annoyed with commercials? No. I came away feeling better about my entertainment experience over cable or air broadcast networks anyday.

So now we need to dictate how much money a company can make...

Just install XBMC on whatever platform you run. Then install the Hulu plugin.

No ads for any Hulu show. Ever.

Um, yeah.. Because neither hulu or the network were making any money. They aren't in the business of saving you time.
They are in the ENTERTAINMENT business, and getting pissed off while trying to use a product isnt very entertaining.

What is your deal anyway? You sound like the CEO of NBC.

R8RFAN 07-12-2012 08:26 AM
Contrary to popular belief they are there to make money and not entertain you for free. Just like your employer is in the business to make money and are not there just to provide you a job...

You need to watch better shows. Watch AMC this Sunday for a "great" show. Not that network garbage.

What part of five hundred eighty million dollar profit last quarter is so hard to understand?

It's not the first industry to go through this.... if there's a big enough change, prices will reset. "Hey, we bought this house for $150,000 and now it's worth $500,000 five years later" = "Hey, we paid $300 million to broadcast NFL games 10 years ago, and now pay $4 billion"
