Hulu Sucks Date: 2007-11-29 14:32:18
Looks like the creators of Hulu just don't get the nature of the internet. On the other hand, this was 100% as expected, so I didn't get my hopes up... Stupid, stupid, stupid!
How hard can it be to make a freaking TV station for the 'net? Apparently, it's impossible. Note to content providers: if you don't provide any legal means to consume your content, people will do it illegally. That's a shame, because you're not only missing out on advertising income but also go so far as turning away consumers who are willing to pay for your stuff. Illegal, free P2P networks are not your competition. Your only competition is your own mind-boggling stupidity.

LOL, I knew there there was no possible way that this site would be more successfull than youtube.
They have no features that are useable. They deleted all of the fox content off of youtube, and all in one lame attempt they try to detour you to their crappy website. But people can simply download their shows, or stream them from other countries.
They also force you to watch lame advertisements just as though you are watching television. One of the main purposes of streaming television shows is to avoid commercials.
Thanks FOX, but try again, because this website sucks ass
I will stream from either Youtube, Youku, Megavideo, Veoh, todou, or any other major streaming site, but never hulu.
