“I’m fed up with Hulu and will never watch it again. Sure, it provides high-quality videos (in fact, the quality is superior to other online video services). Sure, it offers a wide selection of some of best movies and TV shows ever made. Sure, it’s all completely free, and has only limited commercial interruption. Sure, it allows me to watch what I want, whenever and wherever I want to watch it. Sure, the variety of programming is superb, allowing me to find something worth watching every time I visit Hulu; and it has even introduced me to some great movies and TV shows that I never would have watched had they not been posted on Hulu. But I’m not satisfied. I demand more. I don’t feel that Hulu is doing enough to cater to my every selfish whim. Hulu still doesn’t offer every single movie and TV show that I like. Sure, I realize that Hulu can’t post a movie or TV show until it has obtained the rights to do so from the copyright owners — an expensive and time-consuming process. And I know that Hulu is posting new videos every day. In fact, it seems like they are posting new videos as quickly as they can obtain the rights to do so. But I still choose to blame Hulu for the fact that they haven’t posted all of my personal favorites yet. In fact, I choose to blame them for everything that doesn’t go exactly the way I want. If there is a delay in posting a video that I want to watch, or if the video freezes up, or the sound quality is not quite as good as usual, then the only possible explanation is that Hulu is trying to shaft their viewers (technical glitches couldn’t possibly be to blame — those NEVER happen on the internet). But what really infuriates me about Hulu is the fact that they have TV shows and movies that I personally don’t find appealing but that other people apparently like. It almost seems as if they care about other viewers besides me! That’s an outrage!! I demand that Hulu cater only to my viewing preferences, and get rid of all those videos that other people like. Also, when I’m watching a movie, I like to have a big bucket of hot-buttered popcorn and an ice-cold drink. But Hulu doesn’t provide either of these things for me, forcing me to go to the time and expense of preparing them for myself. Clearly Hulu doesn’t care about its viewers. So, even though it means that I’ll no longer have access to all of the high-quality free video content that Hulu has to offer, I’m never going to watch Hulu again. Because I’m an idiot. -Spoiled Whiner”
