They plan on calling it "pause-vertising." What the fuck.
This happens ONE time, and Ill hit that cancel button.

Hulu decides "fuck it, lets try and lose some subscribers."

Does this apply to the ad-free tier?
Even if it does, I don't find myself pausing all that often.

Im not certain. We're on the $15/month teir so no commercials, but even so it has stupid little promos for the show we're currently watching before each episode, and that irks me enough.
We dont pause a lot, but sometimes we get up to get another drink, or my wife asks questions, or we talk about internal show stuff, so we pause so we dont miss something.

advertisement while pause? I dont see a problem with that unless you have too watch the whole ad. as long as you unpause it better be ready to go. I rather have that then the beginning of the show ads.

Can Hulu negotiate with my ISP to get rid of data caps?

Why not negotiate yourself out of your ISP and go with Verizon instead?

You mean for home Internet or for phone? I cannot wait until 5G is widely available and I will have more options.

I don’t have data capped anywhere and I probably pay less than you.

Do you live in a major metropolitan area? That alone would give you more options than me.
I use Cricket for phone, pay $35 per month. I have Cox Home Internet and I recently got them to lower it to $65 (100 Mbps download/10 Mbps upload). I use my own modem and router. Honestly, though, I have zero other options for home Internet. ATT says they’re offering fiber now in my area, but I keep checking and it’s not there still. When 5G becomes mainstream I’ll finally be able to get a better connection for less money.

Ok I pay more than you. But I am also happier with my service.
$100 phones for the fam
$79 1gb speed internet.
Nothing capped.

I'm very envious of you! If I could get speeds like that here I would've jumped on that.

We finally cancelled Hulu...don’t miss it a bit. In the end, all the really had were some kid shows, not enough to keep it.

Hulu shit the bed about 2 1/2 years ago in Japan. I didn't know they were still hanging on in other territories.

Ok, what’s going on in Japan? It sounds like you’ve been there for a long time now.

I've been a satisfied Netflix user for years - and that's the only service I subscribe to. Hulu felt slimy to me from the get-go, and they've just gotten more so over time. I'm also not a TV show fanatic though - I've always found enough shows I want to watch on Netflix alone.

Netflix is solid...and in my opinion, getting better. Between it and Amazon prime (also getting better), it's all we subscribe to. The ability to month by month pay for HBO is also great, we'll pick it up for Game of Thrones or Westworld and then shed it.

Amazon Prime has a lot of potential just because they don’t have a lot of original content to commit to. That’s why when Syfy pulled the plug on The Expanse, some people at Prime Video were able to swoop in and save the day. I am really looking forward to watching The Expanse on Amazon Prime.

I looked up Philo based on this post. Nope. ~3-5 channels my wife would watch, 3 channels I'd watch, and no sports.
It still looks like if/when I "cut the cable," it'll be for Youtube TV.

The desire people have to watch grown men play with balls is single handedly keeping cable TV alive.
