What in the fuck, at least there's netflix still, for now.

We don't want to see ads, we're willing to pay not to see ads, fuck off with the ads.

(account not currently active so not sure how bad ads really are, but when I get it the non-premium plan is basically no longer an option)

Youtube Red I might pay for, but still mad they won't let me watch vids on Ipad with screen off now so haven't signed up out of spite.

It's only 7 recent shows [0]. Also, consider Netflix and Hulu aren't competitors. They offer different content, mostly. Hulu has more recent and a far larger back catalog of popular television shows. Netflix has more older movies, original content, and a sprinkling of older television shows.

I'm not defending Hulu, I don't have a subscription. Consider that it's a fraction of the price of cable which has commercials, even with the limited commercials for $11.99, it's quite the bargain. It's on demand too and supported by just about every recent smart TV or streaming device.

> While the list of shows may change, they are currently: Grey’s Anatomy, Once Upon a Time, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Scandal, Grimm, New Girl, and How To Get Away With Murder.
