Hulu

Hulu does not do viewer analysis. Why not, you ask? Why bother is their answer.

Have you ever questioned why, after disliking every reality show title, game title, horror title, etc. (substitute your favorite disliked categories here) that Hulu keeps show you new titles in those categories? No analysis.

Have you ever questioned why Hulu continually re-displays titles you've disliked? They don't care. "Got it?"

If Hulu were a person crawling to my front door begging for shelter, I'd give them a blanket and let them sleep on the porch, but not in the house. You can't trust a liar.

We switched from Direct TV to Hulu for cost reasons. It takes a bit to adapt to HULU functionality. Clicking around within the site is not smooth, they should work on that. There is what they call a dvr... it; s not. You can record programs but cannot easily start at the beginning... sometimes not at all... NEEDS to be better. We opted for no commercials ($6 per month) Most shows still have commercials... some (very few) have none and some requires and annoying clicking game to skip ads. Will likely drop this. If there is a better way ie dvr, commercials
Etc... it is not spelled out clearly in any way. I just got an email saying our service will increase $10 per month.
Will have to consider That!

I think it is ridiculous you only offer one screen at a time. Even Netflix gave me more than that. You should offer at least 2 screens with the base price. Then for the last 4 nights I haven't even been able to access Hulu (usually just at night). Also making people pay $60 a month just to view it on more than one screen. I quit Netflix bc they suck, I quit amazon prime bc they lied about everything you get, and Hulu is slowly working my nerves on this one. Can't someone put something out there where they actually care about what their customers want and not to fulfill their own greedy needs. All of these channels are now trying to make a pretty penny off of everyone now. It's ridiculous to make someone pay for a channel they already pay for with cable.

Hulu offers a diverse selection of TV shows, movies, and original content at an affordable price. I appreciate the ability to customize my viewing experience with add-ons like live TV and premium channels. The streaming quality is generally good, although I've experienced occasional buffering issues during peak hours. Overall, Hulu is a solid option for streaming entertainment.

You can not pay for any of the bundles with a gift card.
Not the Hulu/Disney or the Hulu/Disney/ESPN bundles!
They don't state this anywhere in their ads or on the gift card itself.

If you owe Hulu money and someone tries to help you out, you can't use the gift card to clear or reduce the amount owed.

Seams like they are doing anything they can to get your credit card and personal information.

Watch yourself.

Picture freezes 4-6 times per hour, live TV is a joke, trying to add or delete channels to favorites is so complicated even Hulu can't tell you how to do it. Sometimes programs play with no video, no audio or both. Incredibly poor interface for a company that all it does is interface with users' TV.
A total joke.

The "choose your own" ads come in at top volume, 10x louder than the programming, and they ALWAYS freeze the app, especially the Jameson ads. In Googling the issue, I found a Reddit thread from over 100 days ago full of people with the SAME issue with a Jameson ad. Hulu was supposedly aware of it and fixing it but it obviously hasn't happened. There's a Carnival cruise ad and Apple Pay ad that do the same. The app also constantly boots me out, 4-6 times per hour, it's impossible to get through one episode of a tv show. I can't find a good way to give them direct feedback but I'm sure they don't care. And it's not, as they suggest, my internet speed or connection. I've tried clearing the cache and data and it helped briefly.

Hulu has made watching a program on their base plan the most torturous experience ever. Its a commercial blitzkrieg, such a waste of time - commercials every 5 minutes, they never stop. It would make Mother Teresa want to bust a cap is someone's $#*!! Thanks H

I originally subscribed to hulu in Oct of 2022. Cost has gone up 20 buck in a year with no explanation. There is nothing new and exciting, and their live stream sucks $#*!. I dropped my plan down to basic on 11/5/23 and now I can barely start anything without their cute little error code popping up. Funny none of my other streaming services do thus and VERY funny it's happening now, for the first time, after telling them to shove that $85 a month bill.
0 stars but they made me throw them one. They are worse than cable. Can somebody please tell them they are not the only streaming platform? Apparently they didn't get the memo.

Never get Hulu as a streaming network. They are hands down the worst. Nothing but problems and terrible customer service to top it all off. I'd rather stare at a wall then ever use them again. If i could give negative stars i would.

No search button on PC, no way to look for anything specific. For 6.99 that gets bumped up to 7.99 a month after, this is actually trash. I don't know who designed their interface but they should be fired immediately. It's a scam at this point. Just use YouTube, Amazon, or Netflix. All other streaming site are better than this.

I don't really want to spend my time and money on watching commercials. If I did, however, I would pay monthly for Hulu.

The only reason Hulu can double charge (via advertising revenue and monthly recurring revenue) its users is because Hulu has effectively monopolized internet streaming for a large amount of popular shows.

Hulu has demonstrated in every possible way (through product bugs, horrible customer service, and shameless price gauging) that it doesn't care about its users whatsoever. I believe this company should be avoided.
