On Paying For Hulu - http://www.jonathan-hardesty.com/2010...

I’ve ranted and raved about this before, albeit with less thought and tact. There’s nothing that Hulu could do to make their services worth a monthly fee. Why should I pay for something I could get for free on television? They already ads, and last I checked that was enough. Google gets by on Ad revenue, so why can’t Hulu?
- Jonathan Hardesty
Well, naturally, the more I thought about it the more my views on this have changed. In fact, since I first heard about this shift to pay-for-content on Hulu, I’ve come to realize that there are certain things I would be willing to pay for. I already pay for Netflix to watch movies instantly online, so in theory I should be fine to pay for television that I watch.
- Jonathan Hardesty
And I am, but here’s a few things that I think Hulu could do to make it easier for me to hand over my money each month.
- Jonathan Hardesty
I won't pay for TV with ads or DRM.
- Tinfoil 2.0
I'm with LogEx. I also don't believe in starting up a business that is based on it being free and then switching to a pay format.
- Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce
Hulu was naive to think they could get away with serving content for free and it's kind of stupid to expect them to do much more than they already do without being able to generate alternate revenue somehow. A hulu with a subscription system in place would be much better than what we get currently through any cable provider.
- Jonathan Hardesty
And from the way the article makes it sound, what we get right now would be the "free" version.
- Jonathan Hardesty
Except for (possibly) quality (resolution & compression), and of course, ads. Plus, DRM'd streaming/online video is harder for most people to time|space|device-shift than standard DVR stuff.
- Tinfoil 2.0
I have no problem with a company starting free and then introducing a pay model - a lot of services do this to generate interest/publicity and stickiness before adding a pay model. But I agree, they need to leave a tier of useful free service. What they're doing now (last five eps of currently running shows with limited ads) is fine for me for the free tier. For a paid tier, I'd need ALL episodes available of the shows I want, and no ads.
- Jandy
We currently pay for extensive ads with the cable providers, so I don't see any budge on the content providers on that front. I don't think a no-ads Hulu CAN exist unless there's cooperation, which Hulu doesn't seem to be getting in any distant future. I would love to see a paid tier with no ads, but I feel like if I had to make one concession, I wouldn't mind the ads in the paid tier, especially the manner in which the ads there are handled.
- Jonathan Hardesty
If you had to make ANY concessions, what would you make to get the convenience of Hulu?
- Jonathan Hardesty
If they continue handling ads the way they do now (basically one or two ads three or four times during a show) I wouldn't mind it, that's true. If they start plugging in as many ads as they do on TV now (with no way to fast-forward, like I can with DVR), that would bother me.
- Jandy
Same. They have some rather creative ways of making the current ads feel less intrusive than on any other sight that plays media. I also really like getting a choice in the beginning of watching a long trailer / commercial before the show and then having the rest of the episode be commercial free. It feels like there's all these variables to make Hulu become amazing, but it all depends on so many different groups of people agreeing...people who aren't known to agree on anything. :(

I think photos will be slow for the first few days. It's going to take a lot to win their trust. Especially the black girl. She is currently a bit aggressive, where as the grey girl gets unhappy and scared but will let me pet her or pick her up if I have to. She will get better first. The black girl is the most feral I have had, we are just going to be very very patient.
- Rachel Lea Fox
The resident kittehs will show them how to get along. They'll learn fast. Feral kittens are much easier to tame than feral and semi-feral adults, and I've had experience with them.
- Katy S
Unfortunately the kittens need to be quarantined for at least a week before they will meet the big kitties. And Indiana usually needs a few days to get used to the kittens and I don't want her hissing at the kittens until they are more confident, so the big kitties won't be part of the initial acclamation! It's awesome that you work with feral cats. Nym won't let me bring in adult cats,...

I don't really work with feral cats. I just grew up around feral & semi-ferals. I grew up on a farm and we encouraged cats to live in the barn (they protected the horses' grain from rodents). As is typically the case, the females hang around and form a colony of sorts. We kept them in food and fresh water, which helped, but I was always good at making friends with them. It just takes patience.
- Katy S
I've had mixed experience with feral/semi-feral kitties. My cat in Guatemala was a kitten that a neighbor found living in their roof (the would-be attic space) and he was very sweet after the inital two days refusing to come out from under my bed, though always independent (i.e., not a homebody). One of my kitties now was raised in a barn by her mom (we got her at about 3 months) and...

- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Sophie (my tabby) still has some skittish moments. It doesn't bother me b/c I know what triggers them and I usually avoid them, but it probably would bother some people. She was more reticent than many of the cats at the shelter (and she had been there almost 7 months), but I think coming home with a more outgoing cat like Plum helped. She's a cat's cat and bonded w/Plum very quickly....

- Katy S
Thanks Katy, I think they will.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Tell us what you think of their temporary names... are they too grown worthy? Because of her resemblance to a past foster kitten, Boo (who now lives next door and got renamed Milo) the black kitten is currently being called Mylie. And to go with it, the grey tabby is being called Hanna. I don't even like that brat child and yet still this is funny too me. Is it horrible though?
- Rachel Lea Fox
Well Hannah doesn't start with L so I'm against it.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
That's funny! Except, I accidentally read "Mylie" as "Mylar" at first. I must be tired.

Isn't Leno partially to blame as well? His show tanked so bad, the affiliates lost 25% of their audience leading into the nightly news. If that audience usually passes through to the Tonight Show, he was getting 1/4 of the usual available eyeballs.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I think it's all about the definition of "everybody". If we see in the news and online that "everybody" is in favor of someone, it only means those news outlets and many of their viewers, not necessarily the actual populace's mind.

NBC just put out a press release that Conan was tied for first with Dave in the 18-49 demo for 9 of the last 11 weeks, and first in the 18-34 demo. And an earlier NYT story had Conan's numbers down from Jay's Tonight Show, but almost entirely in the older (49+) demographic; the way I read it it his 18-49 audience was nearly the same size as Jay's.

Remember, his show wasn't the one that made the affiliates revolt...

In our case we have an old-fashioned Tivo that only can record one thing at a time, and we choose Colbert (we have a lifetime subscription on the Tivo, so not replacing any time soon).
- Shannon Jiménez
What's interesting is that out of the 17 years Jay hosted the Tonight show, he was only #1 for the last 12 of those years. That's five years building his audience folks...FIVE YEARS. How much time did Conan get? Oh, yeah, 7 months and he was hobbled by Jay's craptastic ratings at 10:00.
- veo
That's a good point.
- Shey
I think they tried to do Late Night with Conan O'Brien camouflaged as the Tonight Show. It didn't work. Conan's quirky little show worked perfectly in it's old time slot. As the Tonight Show not so much for me at least. Jay Leno's show just seemed half hearted from the get go. It seemed like his heart wasn't in it. I like both of them though and wish each the best of luck. I wouldn't quite call getting $40 million dollars to go away getting the shaft.

What did Jay's new show replace to give it a 25% ratings drop?
- Daniel J. Pritchett
@Daniel - anything in the 10pm timeslot, since he took all of them for the week (mostly scripted programming). Stuff like Law & Order: SVU was doing a lot better than Leno's show ever did.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I've never watched any of the late night shows all the way through. Sometimes I see a few minutes in between other things I'm watching off the DVR, or I catch the highlights the next day online. To sit down and watch the whole thing? Why would you do that?
