You cant roll out a Hulu from scratch. It is basically a venture between content providers. How much TV content does Yahoo produce ? none. It is a huge mistake to buy Hulu. I dont know how much they'll be paying for this but it is worth 0 money, just like Tumblr.
- anoncow 13y agoThis may very well be true. But you shouldn't discount some points. 1. Yahoo will negotiate some kind of licensing agreement. 2. Yahoo will benefit from a known name and existing users.
- rhizome 13y agoIt's not like the content providers are going to abandon a rather large channel with a lot of momentum.
- marcamillion 13y agoI don't understand why this criticism keeps coming up. Isn't it safe to assume that anyone that is buying Hulu would know that the content is what is most important? I assume that to be the case for Mayer, so I assume she wouldn't buy Hulu without the content. That doesn't make sense. Unless....she knows something that we don't know...like Yahoo is going into the original content creation business like Netflix - but even then, we would still be years away from Hulu recovering from the networks pulling their stuff. Give them a little credit please.
