Hulu is starting to disappoint me. After spending a few minutes looking for something interesting to stream for background noise I gave up and decided to watch Saints and Soldiers again. Everything was as boring as usual until the first commercial break when my ear drums started bleeding from the train horn decimal level sound coming from the commercial. Apparently Hulu is now following the television networks’ approach to getting their message across by playing commercials at higher volume than the primary content you tuned in to watch.
Is Hulu hitting it’s peak here?. The pressure created by falling advertising rates are forcing hulu to decrease user experience quality to a level they can already get on their Television. The content is getting stale. Is this the best they can do to showcase documentaries, etc? Competitors are on the way and won’t have a difficult time eating this site for lunch.
