Hulu: "We've seen what the cable companies are doing and it seems to be going poorly for them. So we're going to go ahead and give that a shot"

Exactly. We canceled Hulu ages ago. Look! I can pay for Hulu, and get the exact same service as people that get it for free---but on something other than a browser!

Canceling "cable" was a bit jarring at first, but I don't miss it anymore. It was kind of like trying to stop watching the show "24". The show had its hold until I missed the subsequent episode, then it was gone; I didn't care anymore.

Hulu silently removed free streaming and replaced it with Yahoo TV, I guess.

"Don't you see? The only way to decrease piracy is to provide more ad-supported services that cost a premium...otherwise how do we pay the lawyers?"
