I abandoned Hulu a few months ago after they messed up the UI. They were making it progressively harder and harder to use the site. Someone posted a reply from their customer service (when they complained about the changes), which basically said that they didn't want hardcore watchers to use the site. So they're hoping to sweep in lots of casual watchers, but don't want binge watchers. I wonder how well this model will work out for them in the long run.
I suspect they'll full transition over to TubiTV: animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-07-21/viz-media-announces-partnership-with-tubitv-to-stream-anime-in-u.s-canada/.104573 |

That sounds really weird for a streaming site. You make things harder for your customers, you are going to lose some customers. But stranger things have happened in business. Who would of thought the Microsoft Xbox people would give the finger to military personnel and others over the Xbox One. |

I wouldn't be surprised if Hulu decided to change their minds after receiving too many complaints from users who still prefer it to be free.

I only used Hulu for one month but then switched to Netflix after getting fed up with paying for ads which I mostly use to watch movies and old tv shows anyway Hulu has been on the decline for a while now and has been trying desperately to stay alive so nothing they do anymore surprises me.

The cable companies still have not figured out that subscribing members want uncensored, ad-free simulcasts that are as region-free as possible. With Comcast owning NBC Universal which owns a Japanese branch, you think that shouldn't be a problem for the grandparent company to help get this achieved.
