Comments on: Hulu to begin charging in 2010 says exec http://tech.blorge.com/Structure:/2009/10/22/hulu-to-begin-charging-in-2010-says-exec/ Top Technology news Mon, 13 Feb 2012 11:40:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: The Flying Basghetti Monster http://tech.blorge.com/Structure:/2009/10/22/hulu-to-begin-charging-in-2010-says-exec/comment-page-1/#comment-226934 The Flying Basghetti Monster Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:41:12 +0000 http://tech.blorge.com/?p=21031#comment-226934 Whatever. Before we start spouting about the free content apocalypse, has anyone who uses Hulu noticed that they have COMMERCIALS supporting all of their content? You'd have to be incredibly naive to believe that a company as smart as Hulu would walk away on the very model that has made them so successful. But to believe that Hulu might offer users the option to view content commercial free at a small subscription based cost... is that so absurd? Free content is not going away, and existing TV and cable models will not survive the 21st century - despite what a rich, jealous old coot like Chase Carey might want to believe. Whatever.

More advertising or another method. I think this is a very bad idea, and they should come up with a way to keep it free and increase revenue. More advertising or another method.

Pay per website is a bad idea. I read Rupert Murdoch is going to do that with his websites. Who is going to pay their monthly internet fees and want to pay to view each website and also get advertising shoved down their throat?

The commercial they had about turning our brains to goo had an element of truth in it. I've been there a few times... I won't really miss it. How much TV do we really need?
