People won't pay.
people gotta get paid
Hence our economy.
Well I'm glad I finished up rewatching Exosquad today. Gonna be a for my student workers who all but live on that site.
hulu
as if the 8 day delays on new shows they ins uted this year wasn't stupid enough.
And I will continue watching my shows on t.v.
Pretty much. Direct pay for media isn't really a model that's had a lot of success on the internets. You make money off of embedded ads.
hulu is gone then
Enjoying it while it lasts. Great alternative to torrents even if I had to sit through some 2 minute ads on occasion. Definitely won't be paying though.
Those TV shows don't get made for free.
No shows I want to watch are on there anyway. Couple that with now having to pay. What is that, only a year they offer services? Or at least that I knew of them. Wasn't it this past super bowl that they started tehir advertising blitzkrieg? Not saying that they werent aroudn before, but to go from free to paying in less than a year is pretty atrocious.
Hulu's been around for 2 years, maybe a bit less. I definitely wont be paying, though. Megaupload more than likely has what I want the night the show airs.
figured as much. was it not this past super bowl though where they started advertising heavy? I just remember it being a super bowl where i first heard of them, not saying they wernt around before.
either way, as stated, no shows i want to watch so even if I would pay, I wouldnt because thye don't offer shows I can't watch already.

No, but Hulu doesn't pay for their production now, and they still get made. TV shows are monetized by first run advertising, and syndication rights. Any money they make off Hulu, and they make some now via advertising, is pure gravy. If people won't pay, and they almost never do on the internet, Hulu will fail as a business model, and those shows won't even get the ancilliary advertising revenues they get now.
I'd venture a guess as that the website its self, the traffic that visits, and the servers and what not have put a strain on the budget and maybe even put it in the red.
Genie's out of the bottle. Another site will pop up.
I think they got bought by Viacom or something. This happens everytime. Small venture gets wildly popular, gets bought up by larger company looking to capitalize, they it up, venture ends up a giant piece of .
It can work in the real world at times, but on the net? Not so much.
learn from the drug dealers...the first few are free....the next time... not so much.
Looks like they aren't getting paid much for advertising any longer.
From what I understand, NBC, Fox and ABC became partners in Hulu in return for making their programming available to it. I'm assuming they are all looking at it as a potential revenue stream, especially after the TV ad campaign significantly increased its web traffic.
That's probably the case, but I'm no more compelled to start paying for Hulu because of it.
If their business model isn't economically viable, they can off and die. Otherwise, let the networks continue to subsidize Hulu's losses.
But I'm not paying. Each month I pay a hundred bucks for satellite service and on top of that, sit through hours and hours and hours of advertising. If the networks/hulu can't figure out a way to stream media using that money, then yeah, they can not stream media for all I care.
Exactly. You have to know your marketplace, and have a business model based on reality, not wishes.
Monetizing internet content is the Unicorn, the Lost City of Atlantis, the Philosopher's Stone, and the Alchemist's Dream of Lead into Gold all rolled up into one.
