It's not our fault that we are choosing new ways to watch tv.. I just don't think people realize that the more we watch any media that's free, the more cable companies and tv producers have to do to raise money to create quality programming. People here are complaining that hulu shows tv shows with ad interruption.. Seriously? Do we really think 15 dollars a month is helping to pay for the cost of creating a Lost episode?
I said it isn't necessary to bog down every single show on Hulu with ads. When it was one 15 second ad every 15 minutes, hell even two, things were fine. Then they started jumping to 3 commercials, then 30 second commercials. Then limiting how many episodes you would watch. Then coming up with a pay model on top of all of that for anything older than 4 weeks. There is really no time difference between Hulu and regular TV now.
