Hulu is the shittiest service there is.

The footer is the truth.
I swear Hulu is ridiculously shitty. I tried it for a bit here when I got new internet and good god, this shit is so worthless. Not to mention they attempted to scam me when I was signing up. I'll go ahead and explain everything from the start.
So I was signing up on my TV, it wanted me to type a bunch of things with the remote and the control app with my phone wasn't working so I aborted that, and had it send me a code to resume this on my laptop. As I did this, it removed the ability to choose any kind of package, locked in at the $60 a month Live TV With Ads package. I had to abort the entire account setup, and go to the beginning and set up the account without my TV involved, to get the $6 a month package, the cheapest one, and then sign into my account with my TV to use it.
So once I started watching stuff, my first option was a movie to test if the stream was good. Bumblebee, which turned out to be a shitty movie but at least it streamed well and in HD even though I stopped watching half way through, it had no ads anywhere.
I went to watch a small TV show, you know, Family Guy, Futurama, stuff like that..... Good fucking god the ads. 4 times more ads than cable TV, every 5 minutes, sometimes not but often, yes a lot of ads... Thats not even the worst part. I'm watching a comedy, and something hilarious happens before it cuts to an advertisement showing some grieving family crying over their murdered loved one, or how mommy has bipolar depression and is suicidal. Then the ad ends and more funny things happen in the show.
Lets not forget that there's literally nothing on this service, you have to pay for packages to watch anything interesting. Otherwise the service is rather empty. All you get is retarded shit like Rick and Morty or other adult swim pothead level stuff. Plus some of the Fox network things like I mentioned above (just full of shit tons of ads). I tried to look up an old show I used to watch as a kid, Hurcules. Not on there at all, doesn't even exist, in any package at all. Xena Warrior Princess does though even though you gotta pay $60/m for it. I suppose thats because Hercules is a man and Xena is a woman. It'd be wrong to show a strong white man doing anything in today's world~ I tried to look up other stuff too, pokemon for example. Gotta pay extra for that, $60/m. Looked up Dragon Ball, that exists, but its only in Japanese because these fucktards have never heard of dubs. Looked up several other things, but most of it, you have to pay for packages ranging from $15/m to $60/m to watch them, or they don't exist.
Overall, Hulu is an empty, shitty service thats not worth anyone's time. Netflix was great, before all the giants decided to split apart and want their own money greedily pulling shit away from Netflix and making their own stream services. I miss Netflix, even though its gone a bit social justice warrior in its own shows with feminization and portraying white men as bad or stupid. Netflix had a great service once upon a time. I doubt there'll ever be another good stream service out there ever again.

agreed that the selection isn't great though
$14 a month is a lot, when you add up everything else. Hulu also charges you for extras. CBS, $15/m. Disney, $15/m. Live TV essentials, $60/m, Live TV No Comercials, $80/m.
Even with the top most package on Hulu, you have to wait several years to get the latest season of something like Criminal Minds. You won't have certain things, like say, Hercules, an old show I wanted to rewatch from back when I was a kid. Show, not movie, not animated either. And they have that asterisk there saying that some things still have ads in them regardless of paying for no ads.
As for adding up. Lets see here.
Rent, $300/m
Food, $250/m
Phone, $50/m
thats three things and its already $600/m. Not counting the various small things, it comes out to me breaking almost even. Not to mention I try to have a little left at the end of the month in case of emergencies, even though on disability you're not allowed to own more than $2,000 so I can't save up too much. Not that I've been able to in the first place... Or come anywhere close.
I miss the old days, when Netflix was great, had lots of options, before Fox decided to cast them out as an evil corporation because two fox executives quit to go work for Netflix. And then Disney and several others got greedy as fuck and wanted to make even more money by pulling everything everywhere into their own stream services that cost more than Netflix.
