Hulu, destined for failure?
I am interested in the news about Hulu charging for content. Why would I be intrigued about something so lame? Well, truth be told, big media companies need to come to the conclusion that no one wants to pay more to watch a television show. That’s right, all these programs are on tv for free over the air or on cable. With the prices that people already pay for cable television and the seemingly endless amount of stupid channels, it’s not hard to believe that no one wants to pay another subscription online. I know for a fact that this guy won’t be paying to watch Hulu. I’d rather spend some money on converting my PC to a DVR or buy a Tivo.
The only real reason I go to Hulu is because the show is online with fewer advertisements and usually the commercials that they do run are better. The sad part about this whole move is that Hulu will probably make some good money, even with their traffic greatly reduced. When I used the site I would Like/Dislike the commercials, and I know I am in the minority there! I wish them luck on this change, but not really. I hope they fail royally and all these stupid companies can open up their minds and get creative.
I think there is going to be a significantly uptick in piracy the moment Hulu starts to charge. I expect to see more shows getting put up on Vimeo, YouTube, and sites like that. BitTorrent is going to start rocking even more than it is now. I would love to have a sit down with some of these suits that think they have the internet solved. I bet they have their MBA degrees on the wall in nice frames. What a bunch of idiots you guys are.
