Well it’s official people. Starting next month Hulu will be charging you $9.95 a month to watch their once free television shows. Some shows like Glee, SNL, and Lost will still be available for free since they are so highly rated. Most other shows though will not be accessed unless you pay the monthly fee.
Hulu has complained they have not made as much profit as they would like off of their television shows from advertising. Majority of the people who use Hulu are under the age of 35.
Hulu, this is why your business model is going to fail. People under 35 barely pay for music as it is, why would they pay for television. Secondly, I will go the the network’s website and watch the episodes for free before I would come to Hulu and pay. I enjoyed Hulu because it kept shows organized for me, but with high speed internet I am willing to take an extra 10 seconds to click to another page and watch it for free. Hulu should put up maybe one more ad before they try this method. This method is going to fail and Hulu will lose a lot of money. They will see that after 4 months that their profit has drastically dropped they will go back to the free model. You do not give away something for free and then charge people. That is not good business practice on Hulu’s part. If i’m paying $9.95 a month there better be no commercials either on any website or video i’m watching.
