For me, Hulu's death came when they added subscriptions, but still forced subscribers to watch ads.

I'm a Hulu Plus subscriber and $7.99/mo with ads for TV is still way better than $50+/mo with ads for TV.

I tried out the Hulu Plus free trial, and I cancelled it within two days. Illegally downloading my tv shows onto a foreign seedbox, transfering them home, ripping out the audio and video from a matroska container, converting audio into xbox compatible format, repackaging into mp4 container, hosting a dhcp server, connecting my xbox to my laptop, then streaming video to it is actually far less stressful than trying to watch them on Hulu. However, if they're on Netflix, I would watch them on there.
