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. |

Hulu.com is the WORST. It's bad that they can stream to other sites.. but we can't view them because we don't live in the States! I see them on YouTube advertising there 30 to 2 min clips they say "Watch Your Favorite Shows. Anytime. For Free." they should add "Only in the USA.. otherwise you guys are fucked" I hate Hulu.com they been up for a long time now, and still haven't been able to port to Canada and other places. FUCK YOU HULU.com |

To be honest, I don't see how they'd be allowed to offer their content if they didn't restrict it heavily. But the way they are marketing themselves, they get a lot of international visibility, up to the point where content is placed exclusively on their site (like Joss Whedon's latest work for example). And that's the point where everybody gets screwed royally, including Americans who live abroad. | |

Anything you find on hulu, no matter how exclusive, will be out for 1 day before someone releases it on youtube |

the arrogance of it bites at me. But it doesn't surprise me. Typical of American networks. Likewise of American efficiency. Likewise of American introversion. The worst of it all being that its influence has bled over into formerly reputable sites like STC and choked most of the content beyond the reach of the rest of the Globe. I'm applauding with one hand. Concisely put: Fuck you, Hulu. |

Hulu's buffering ability is tragically sucky. If I wanted to interact with the content this much just to watch something, I'd buy a TV. |

Hulu is better than the rest. Why? Better res. Youtube videos are like what? 100i at BEST? Yokou? LOL talk about horrible quality and super slow buffering even WORSE than Hulu. ALL Hulu hows,movies,and videos come in 380p, and 480. And even some come in 1080i..... need i say more? And all of you are so fucking stupid whining how you can't view it if your not in the USA. It's a site MADE for Americans, and all you have to do is use a Proxy server.... Also buffering isn't really up to Hulu, it's YOUR connection speed. If you got some shitty 56k don't expect high res tv shows to magically stream flawlessly. Wow, people claim Americans are dumb, you guys prove otherwise. Have a nice day =) |

Dude, STFU. nobody freakin' cares! What did you expect it to be? Some perfect, better than life, website? Anyways, it's not like telling everyone that looks at this page to automatically 'stop Hulu from destroying the world' is going to do any good. GET A LIFE. I'm surprised you don't already have one...or, a much simpler route, BUY A FRICCKKEN TV. |

COMPLETELY AGREE - FUCK HULU and all you self righteous Americans. Canadians are: 1. per capita, wealthier than Americans, 2. more healthy thus living longer, 3. American's largest trade partner 4. smarter than 90% of Americans...so why hulu doesn't want our demographic is beyond me but I searched Google for FUCK HULU and this site was first and sure enough...ranting about HULU So from another wealthy, between 34-40 white male, professional and an American product buyer..FUCK YOU HULU I will never use a HULU product ever again As for proxies...FUCK proxies as well. That's another thing Canadians are...proud and we don't hide beyond shitty US proxies looking to steal our MAC addresses to spam Nigeria |

I think the website is GREAT. If you don't live in the U.S., I'M SORRY IT DOESN'T WORK! What are they supposed to do? Make it work world wide? I live in Minnesota, and I always miss Hell's Kitchen and The Simpsons because of my job. But I just go to Hulu the day after and I watch it for free. And please, so you have to watch 1 commercial! OH MY GOSH PEOPLE THE COMMERCIALS ARE LIKE 20 SECONDS LONG! You people have no patience. If you really hate it so much, buy a t.v. and watch your shows there. |

@Marlena: yes, making it work world wide was exactly the point. It's a website you now. The web and the audience for TV shows is larger than the US, even if it doesn't seem that way from where you're standing. | |

Hulu is a sack of fetid fecal matter. Wallowing in a sea of man gravy. They represent themselves as if they present topical, recent material but its all Male bovine feces. I wish they would all dispose of themselves in a suicidal manner! |

hulu is bullshit! your lucky to find an excerpt of a show, let alone the whole show! They have all this hype with alec baldwin on their commercials and then they don't deliver. Also they should change their name to family guy repeats, because thats the only show they seem to be good at getting. FUCK HULU!!!! I'M SICK OF THEM!!! |
