Hulu "is actually a step backwards" Most of the 311-so-far comments on the this post on the NBC-Universal/Newscorp we-don't-need-YouTube collabo are extremely negative/disappointed about the lack of portability and accessibility of the Hulu content (many non-U.S. people wondering why the site is going out of its way to recreate a completely artificial international restriction on Internet stuff!)
Anyway, so it's negative comment after negative comment, only to be interspersed by the occasional suspiciously positive but hollow atta-boy, something pointed out by commenter Chris Coleman:

Wow, this is so groundbreaking! I am truly thrilled by such great NBC original programming! Just FYI, it's strikingly obvious which comments are planted by NBC. Don't you have anything better for your interns to spend their time doing?

Here's another good one:

Hmmm.... I can only watch these shows while chained to a browser, and in the country the shows air in anyway. Effectively, the only advantage is that I can watch the when I want. As long as I am in front of my computer at the time, and as long as I don't mind a tiny window. Why is this better than recording the shows on a PVR and watching that whenever I want? On a bigger screen? With the ability to skip commercials? With my family? There appears to be no benefit to this whatsoever. If I can't carry it away on an external device, it is actually a step backwards from the TV. The only benefit I can see is if I am overseas and want to keep up on shows. But of course that doesn't work, does it.

And another:

By the time your shows are shown in Europe, I've already seen them through a torrent. Your business distribution model is dead. And now you're trying to perpetuate this model online as well? This is a different world.

And so on.  ¶ 12:31 AM
