Worst part about hulu was the same commercial 3+ times in a row, every break same 1 or 2 commercials. Really makes you appreciate the variety of regular commercials.

And yet Hulu's commercials still aren't a third as bad as cable/satellite TV.

Having been off of satellite for almost 15 years now, I honestly wouldn't want it if it were free. The idea of having to watch something when its own, instead of on demand, and the obscene amount of advertising, which is always way louder than the shows (Hulu doesn't seem to do this.) is unacceptable.

Netflix, Hulu and Amazon have plenty of faults, but they are streets ahead compared to that vast wasteland of cable and broadcast TV.

YouTube TV is barely tolerable because you can at least fast forward through commercials there. Honestly if I could stream my local broadcast channels during hurricane season I would wouldn't need even that.

Forced ads are a cancer and they will cause me to exit any media consumption channel I use regularly. I paid Amazon extra to keep ads off my Kindle but if they revisit the technique of inserting ads mid book ala pulp books in the 60s, my Kindle will be wiped and donated to charity the next day.
