Hulu Plus

So Hulu announced Hulu Plus a couple of days ago. At first glance I was excited that it would be going on my iPhone and iPad and the $10 didn’t seem too bad initially. Then I learned that none of the shows I watch ON Hulu are in Hulu Plus (Burn Notice mostly) - Um..okay. Then I learned that on top of paying $10/mo I will still have commercials. What? Some say that if you are complaining about Hulu Plus costing $10/mo with commercials that I haven’t looked at my cable bill in awhile. Uhhh actually that is PRECISELY why I’m complaining about yet ANOTHER stream to get TV content and having to deal with money hungry execs. Is anyone forcing me to get Hulu Plus, no, obviously not. I probably won’t until the selection is bigger. Hell, I don’t even mind supporting Hulu or their commercials. Most of the time they are highly relevant to my interests even. It’s not really about that. I have Netflix subscription, I have a cable tv bill that is $65 with recording. And now Hulu thinks that Hulu Plus is valuable enough between these two to charge $10/mo + commercials? Not for me.
