I wouldn't say it's because of the ads, but the convenience factor of BitTorrent and other sharing solutions is HUGE. Hulu is a very good step in the right direction, though they're still nowhere close in the ability to watch series from the beginning. (Netflix is much better in this regard).
Seeing ads at the movies and in other things I pay for does really burn my ass, though.
- chc 16y agoAmong people who know they exist, fast-forwarding DVR and Bittorrent are much more popular than watching TV with ads. It seems pretty clear to me at least that people do not like ads very much. So it's perplexing to see the networks take a fundamentally good product that people might be willing to pay for and intentionally include something that people really don't want. Why would you consciously choose to make your paid product worse than the free competition?
