Dear Hulu,
I have been a loyal Hulu user on my Windows PC running Boxee for 3 months. I love the ad supported model - especially when "the following program is brought to you on Hulu with limited commercial interruptions" Thanks to Chase slate card (triplets?!) and the campy StateFarm insurance guy who decides he's tired and ready to die.
That is until today.
Why would you block Hulu on a windows computer just because I use Boxee as my browser instead of Firefox or Chrome?
Are your advertisers asking you to reduce viewership?
Do you really think this move on your part makes users want to pay for a Hulu plus subscription?
I want to watch shows on Hulu with advertising. I want to do it on my Windows computer running Boxee.
Please tell me this was a mistake and Hulu is going to allow Boxee users to view Hulu content and optionally subscribe to Hulu plus for additional content and fewer ads for those who desire those features.
For those of us who are willing to watch ads so that you are compensated for the content and advertisers capture our consumer dollars, let us watch Hulu content and your advertisers' content on our computers that run Boxee.
I'm posting this email on my Blog and will gladly post your reply as well. Http://techhomeblog.blogspot.com
Thank you,
Craig L. Davis
The additional irony is... wouldn't consumers who are spending their dollars on "luxury" technology devices such as a BoxeeBox or a GoogleTV device be the demographic that advertisers WANT to reach more of?!
