Boxee Drops Hulu Support
frdmfghtr writes "According to a boxee blog entry, Hulu will no longer be supported. From the post: 'two weeks ago Hulu called and told us their content partners were asking them to remove Hulu from boxee. we tried (many times) to plead the case for keeping Hulu on boxee, but on Friday of this week, in good faith, we will be removing it. you can see their blog post about the issues they are facing.' Reading the hulu blog post, the only 'issue' I see facing Hulu is that content providers have (once again) shot themselves in the foot, switching off a media conduit they should have been promoting." Update: 02/19 14:31 GMT by T : Jamie points out this interesting (speculative) piece at O'Reilly Radar about the thought process that may have driven the decision.
fucking jews.
You know some kike picked up the phone and was like, "Oy Vey"
If the entertainment industry wasn't run by greedy Jew rats, maybe we would be able ot watch Hulu on our preferred device.
Just when you think that those fucking kikes are going to meet you half way, the pull some shit like this.
Well I say we all keep downloading tv shows commercial free from bit torrent websites.
Then, when the Jews are distracted counting their money... BAM... Straight to a concentration camp.
This is for Palestine, kikes
And what would Boxee be, pray tell? I went to the site, and all I see is a page that asks me to log in. No information on what Boxee would be - no "What is Boxee?" or "Information about Boxee" or "Why you should give a pair of fetid dingo's kidneys about Boxee".
Except maybe the 60-second video intro to Boxee that takes up half the screen? Or maybe you're blocking everything. Don't surf text-only and complain about what you're missing.
>So far, evidence shows that Hulu has made the right choices.
Yes, because between these two decisions:
1. Providing popular content with serious use restrictions, and limiting it to 5% of possible users
2. Providing less-popular content with no use restrictions to 100% of the population.
#1 makes the most sense. I suppose in your world, it would make sense for Comcast to provide HBO to NYC residents living in brownstone buildings only (about the same percentage of their present coverage as the 5% world population - a certain percentage for all the ridiculous restrictions) if that's what HBO wanted. Yup, that's the way to go. This sort of thing is sure to keep your company in business for a LONG time. L-O-L.
