Because then you’re also paying for networks like AMC, TNT, FX, etc. that come with commercials despite the fact that you’re already paying for subscription.

Hulu is really about television or older movies, while Netflix is about DVDs.

But the other big difference, and one that may ultimately kill Hulu Plus are the commercials. Paying 8 bucks a month and getting commercials is a hard pill to swallow. Especially when a lot of that content is available on the Hulu site for free with the commercials. With Netflix I pay my monthly fee and can watch as many movies and shows as I want without additional advertising.
