Before it ruins TV, Hulu is out to ruin society
Actually, society was ruined by the stupid electronics that allow us to "enjoy" brain-dead television everywhere quite some time ago, so maybe it does make more sense to argue that Hulu is going to "ruin television."
All I see in this ad are idiots wasting their lives staring at small screens no matter where they are or what they are doing. Laying on your bed, sitting in a restaurant, actually "socializing" with fellow human life forms, whatever- keep staring at that streaming video, keep consuming this crap and when you get done binging on whatever swill Netflix shoveled into your vacant brain last season, get to "work" binging on the next pointless crap Now Available On Your Electronic Device.
And I'm not going to shed any tears over the final two seconds of this noxious crud, where we see that Hulu will ruin the experience of flying Business Class as loathsome wastes of organs like this wretched woman (I don't care who she is, so don't bother to tell me. Seriously. I DON'T CARE) laugh out loud at whatever they are watching without headphones, startling you away from your book or nap or thoughts or conversation with the person next to you. Because the real message of this ad is identical to pretty much every ad featuring cell phones made over the past ten years or so- the only reason to exist on Earth nowadays is to watch stuff on TV and "share" that experience with the people around you with your reactions to the brain candy you're "enjoying." That's it. That's all there is.
I won't be "ruining TV" by getting Hulu-- because TV was ruined forever ago by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video and multiple other Garbage Delivery Systems which allow the zombies to watch it wherever, whenever. TV isn't a way to unwind after work - it's the Be All and End All for more and more people. Hulu isn't the problem- it's just part of it. This commercial is all about Hulu trying to be a BIGGER part of the problem. What a great goal, Hulu. If you get there, it will be without me.

I am fond of watching the popular TV shows so I tried to find out the best websites to watch Kdrama online, and it was worthwhile to try them because many of them are too good.
