Hulu might not be bringing in too much money, but they have certainly taken a larger step than anyone towards bringing television online and into the future. What’s their secret? All they did was provide content to users in the way they want it. It took them long enough to catch on, too, since a small group of people have been saying that for years, but Hulu actually seems to get it, most of the time at least.
Yes, Hulu’s breakthrough is realizing something people have been saying for years. Whatever that says about the content industry, Hulu’s relative success seems to have sparked almost every TV studio to publsih full episodes online, either on their own or through Hulu.
The verdict is still out on Hulu’s success, but they have undoubtably helped open the eyes of the big studios. With any luck, that will be a lasting effect.
