So, my anti-cable stance is mostly predicated on my anti-commercial lifestyle. It's pretty much all about the commercials. I wouldn't mind paying 100$ a month for all the programming on cable TV, but then I have to "pay" again by having commercials. About 20-25% of the time is commercials. What other activity do you participate in that you concede 25% of the time to not doing that activity? It's like if you went to the grocery store and at the end of every aisle you had to read an advertisement before continuing. What I am "doing" supposedly is spending 30 minutes watching this show, but in actuality I am spending 22 minutes watching the show and 8 minutes doing something I despise. So anyway, as you know from the introduction, the point of this weblog is to follow my move away from cable TV and away from commercials.
I've never really used Hulu because they have commercials. But really I don't know what the Hulu experience is like, so I'm going to find out. I can deal with about 30 seconds of commercials every 15 minutes or so. Or I can handle a longer commercial break before/after an entire episode of a show.
So I'm going to hop on my exercise bike and watch something on Hulu. And I'll continue using it for a while just to get a sense of how it ... feels. I should try Hulu plus for a free trial just to get the experience.
Here goes...
