    Hulu promoting piracy

    I'm watching a 25 year old program and they have THREE MINUTE commercials on here.
    There's no way they're going to be around a long time if they want to take us back to the forties.

    Help put an end to piracy, do something about fifty thousand minute commercials on fucking nine hundred year old programs, for fuck sakes.

              You should have watched it 25 years ago then.

                      That's like saying women promote rape by dressing like a slut.

                                                  Hulu is like the anti-Netflix. I'm happy to pay Netflix my 8/month when in exchange I can watch all the crap I want, commercial free, on my TV, phone, and tablet. Plus they are now creating content you'd actually want to watch (on episode 7 of House of Cards, looking forward to Arrested Development.)

                                                  I tried Hulu Plus and cancelled my free trial on the first day. They have 6 commercials total, and they play 4 of them at a time, every 8 minutes.

                                                  i tried Amazon Prime, about all they had for "free" was old episodes of One Day At A Time.

                                                  Hulu's claim to fame is that they have Glee, but I get my daily dose of homo from GFY.

                                                      You're being deliberately obtuse.
                                                      If whoever has the rights to the program hostage would put a reasonable amount of commercials on it, it'd be less likely to be pirated and widely distributed. See.

                                                      Huly promotes piracy and should be sued.

                                                          Hulu + is good when there are new things to watch. Lately it's been pretty boring.

                                                              Or, how about they're trying to make as much money back from advertising rights as they can to cover the licensing of these shows, and turn a profit so they can charge only 9 bucks a month for hulu plus? It's the extremely long standing business model of television and syndication. You sound like a conspiracy theorist wackjob.

The viewer is there for the content, and ads will always detract from the experience of watching the content. If the ads are unreasonable, viewers will look elsewhere for the content or find something else to do with their time.

The viewer is there for the content, and ads will always detract from the experience of watching the content. If the ads are unreasonable, viewers will look elsewhere for the content or find something else to do with their time.
                                                                          I agree with that, but to say that Hulu is intentionally running extra long commercial segments to push viewers to file sharing sites, etc. is just crazy.

It's the extremely long standing business model of television and syndication. You sound like a conspiracy theorist wackjob.

Every show in syndication, no matter how old, gets new commercials put in it from the network rebroadcasting it.
                                                                                                          Wouldn't it be interesting tif you could watch the original commercials instead?
