Hulu not switching to a pay site -- rest easy, web watchers

I could totally see paying for some premier shows a la carte, maybe this is the model of the future, instead of subscribing to networks for set top boxes as well, you just on demand the material you actually want to see.

Yeah, there still might be some kind of, Pro Membership of some sort.

most excellent. this is great news. I can continue to distract myself and procrastinate my time away for free!

Yea! Yea! Go Hulu! Go!

Personally, I watch hulu b/c I never bought the digital converter for my tv.

Yes! I was nervous for a minute there.

As long as the "basic" free service doesn't become basic 'junk' filler, I'm okay with it, and if they provide options that I can 'customize' for a fee (assuming I believe the cost is fair) than I'm on board>

well if HULU were to be a pay site, i think it would go straight down, most of the local channels now upload their series, like fox, abc, etc, so for me hulu is just one way to see my favorite series. however, hulu is making the living with the adds, so money should not be a problem. therefore, hulu please stay free i rather watch the elegant commercials with the deep-voice guy in your page than the horrible, annoying, disturbing, distracting adds in other websites

That's good, but I rarely use it. I want to know why the networks don't have all their shows to view on their site like CBS? They have recaps and scenes but not whole shows.

Yes!! This is great news. I love Hulu.

yeah...there are some thing we pay for with piracy laws no ones use lime wire any more....*blocking other half of my screen*

Thank you, thank you , thank you.

AWESOME!

yeah big whoop, torrents are always free and most times if you feel so inclined you can find 1080p.

Hopefully it's like Last FM and they only charge for no commercials!

good for now

Yes!

Great to hear. Its a very good sight.

Smart Move, Hulu. You would have lost a majority of traffic on your site, which would have lead to a loss in advertisement revenue, hence imploding your site and essentially putting a fork in your streaming videos.

Adding premium content for a price might have some appeal to some viewers, however, I would rather not pay for something I can Download from torrents/Watch for free elsewhere/See on premium television viewing.

But does that mean that they'll redefine what is free and what is for pay - meaning some of the popular shows and movies get moved into the pay category?

lets hope the stuff left free isn't shit.

great! i threw out my t.v., now hulu is my only source for for primetime soaps. it took about 3 months to quit missing t.v., now i got a lotta extra time.

I don't care, it's only available in the US anyway...

awesome.

thats nice to know.

This is what I thought of when I first heard of Hulu charging for material. I hope this true. I still suspect some kind of subscription fee. We'll see.

Yay!
