That doesnt so bad as long as buffering isnt an issue. Id hate to wait 20 seconds between pausing and unpausing a show.

it's kinda greedy but tbh as long as it doesn't affect when i can unpause or the quality of the stream upon unpausing (i.e. no buffering or anything) then i don't think it's going to be much of an issue. Oh you trolling. I'll leave the topic then --- #1 Sarah Logan fan ... Copied to Clipboard!

If Hulu is going to be inconveniencing their customers for more revenue, then they better offset it by adding a shitload more content. Otherwise, why would I continue to pay for their service after they sour the deal up?

Ads while paused is ok by me as long as I can dismiss them, and there isn't a delay in resuming what I'm watching (ie having to wait for the ad).

Imagine you're watching this quiet scene in a movie you're really loving. Somebody asks you to pause the movie. So you press pause. Suddenly there's loud noises and shit coming from an annoying ass commercial. Sure you can hit mute, but you're still gonna hear that shit for a second or two before you hit the mute button. That's annoying. Really annoying. I won't stand for it. It is detrimental to quality TV/Movie watching. --- All points of view and perspectives exist for a reason. There is no such thing as evil. ...

or you could do what any rational person who knew that was coming would do, and press the mute button first, and/or be prepared to press both buttons in quick succession. not really that difficult. i get your point and even somewhat agree with it but you are blowing it massively out of proportion.
