This is what may happen to Hulu. |
- taking Hulu to the "tv everywhere" model, where you'd have to have a valid cable subscription in order to watch regular old tv shows on Hulu;
- Fox and ABC reducing the amount of content that Hulu can host, even if that material is available on their own websites;
- increasing the number of commercials in the typical Hulu broadcast, by up to 4 extra ads.
Sometimes, tho, businesses need to change in order to stay afloat or add to their success. Other times, people just get greedy, and they ruin the whole thing. It's not clear to me which one of those two (or how much of both at once) is happening here. I just know that all these companies can afford to keep Hulu alive indefinitely. And they should.
The article linked above is well worth reading, and it provides not only deeper info, but a few rays of hope. Among them, that there's so much infighting among Hulu's owners on those changes; it's not clear when or if any of these changes will occur because of how strongly they disagree.
For my own part, I hope that nothing changes, as the biggest losers will be the people who use and enjoy the Hulu service...
