The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Hulu, like any great successful free service, was naturally due for some measure of monetization. Fears are largely unwarranted: people who have enjoyed free Hulu can continue to do so -- but the Hulu Plus pay service they're bringing to the table is something else entirely.

    I am in the preview service.

    The idea that studios and cable companies believe they can charge $10 a month and still throw us commercials?

    Hello, Hollywood? This isn't cable television, this is the internet.

    Either pick a subscription plan with no Ads or ditch the subscription plan.

    I will be canceling if this doesn't change once the service goes live.

    $10 a month PLUS adds on a streaming service?

    Forget it.

    Netflix and Crunchyroll have got it right.

    Get rid of the Ads if you're going to charge a subscription fee.

    Period.
