I will never understand how that company makes money. If you can get users to pay you for your content, then don't try and sell your users time to someone else.

I will never understand how that company makes money. If you can get users to pay you for your content, then don't try and sell your users time to someone else. Horrible value proposition and if you have to block that much stuff they likely sell your data as well, not to mention many premium clients are shittier than the pirate sites. Hulu value proposition:
* Pay for content.
* Still have to watch commercials.
* Have data about my usage sold to highest bidder.
* Video client that is not as good as putlocker (or whatever the cool kids are using these days)
it is owned by nbc, disney and fox. they still don't get that you can sell content, sell ads, or sell nothing. Very little overlap.

- pavel_lishin 11y ago> they still don't get that you can sell content, sell ads, or sell nothing. But they can, and do. We pay for our Hulu subscription, and so do literally millions of others. They are toeing a very fine line, however - too many ads, and I'll ditch them and either use Netflix (which doesn't have the most recent TV shows), or pirate things. It's also pretty interesting that they're offering a new, more expensive, ad-free service. I wonder how long that one will stay ad-free.
