My process is sorta similar: 1. Netflix? 2. Hulu? 3. Amz-Inst 4. Shady streaming site. And since the vast majority of what I watch is anime these days that hasn't been officially brought to USA yet, I pretty much go straight to #4, animehere.com or animecenter.tv or similar. I even have scripts that scrapes the page for the direct video-file URL and fetches it. I run it every Saturday night to get the newest Attack on Titan & Hunter-x-Hunter-2011. Here[1] is a bash script I put together to download all of the One Piece video files from watchop.com . Of course, now that I've posted the script it'll probably stop working in the not-too-distant future. 1. http://pastie.org/pastes/8353546/text http://pastie.org/pastes/8353546/text

I gave up on Hulu. It's too misleading. I kept going to shows or movies and finding only trailers and clips. Why would I want either of those things? I don't go looking for ads. I just don't...I have less than zero interest in seeing ads, even for shows or movies I wanted to watch. I used to love Hulu. It works on Linux (which is a big thing for me, especially during the day when I'm working and watching TV), and it used to be a place where I could watch current season shows. Now, it's just too much hassle to find any actual programming.

  Same here, for the same reason. One of the reasons I stopped paying for cable TV was the utter overabundance of ads. Hulu wants me to give them money so they can make me watch ads? Yeah, no. One more benefit the torrent sites have over the legit item, apparently.
