I remember when Hulu first launched. Hulu was the future.

I than remember my IP being blocked by Hulu because I was running a Tor node. Before you say that sounds reasonable, it wasn't an exit node. And Tor provides methods to tell the diference.

I was forced to take the node down, because my brother wanted Hulu, and we live together.

Goodbye Hulu. Goodbye and good riddance. I know you think your customers will join your paid service. They won't. Most of your users are bound for either the richer streaming services, or PopcornTime and similar.

Way to make yourself less relevant.

Considering Hulu is owned by ABC, Fox, and Comcast, any optimism of a delighted customer would have been misplaced. They were basically competing against their own model and had every reason to make you miserable.

They refused to validate the netflix model.

Speaking as a member of an area Comcast serves, they are the devil. They're actually worse than other ISPs. Somehow.
