Youtube Adding TV Episodes
So it only took about a year and a half for Youtube to decide that it was time to try and kill Hulu.com off. Hulu.com is a site that shows TV, movies, and clips of movies (All of which piss people off since they want the movie instead of this moronic video). All are shown with short commercial interruptions (yes even movies, but only 30 second clips usually).
Hulu was there first and is actually partnered with NBC since they own it. This means they get the shows like The Office, Heroes, and 30 Rock to show there, while Youtube will likely not have access to that content. That is until Youtube just decides to put them out of business I would guess.
At the moment Youtube only has old shows and movies much like what Hulu had early on. They still do, but have newer programming as well including the ones mentioned before as well as Family Guy, The Simpsons, and other crap I will never watch.
I assume Youtube will do the same thing with commercial interruptions for whatever company decides to pay the bills. You see basically anything from diet pills comparisons to video game ads. It’s a great way to advertise anyways. People love the ability to watch online when they want to. Not everyone has a DVR, or TiVo yet so it is good for them.
