I used to love Hulu. It was the place to find TV shows online for the last 3 years.
Recently, Hulu has been pulling boneheaded moves like restricting use of their iPhone/iPad apps to Hulu Plus subscribers, throwing in way too many ads in places they don't below (pre-roll AND an ad after a 30 second show intro), etc. But Sunday morning, I was greeted with a message I've never seen before: "Episode available on Hulu Sunday, Sept. 26" Only problem was...it was Sunday, Sept. 26. And keep in mind that this episode was already placed in my Queue. I regularly watch Hulu as I crawl into bed in the wee hours of the morning after working all night, and have always been able to catch shows in the early hours. This screen seems to be new, preventing me from watching shows on the day they're supposed to be released, because I tried to watch them "too early". In the past, Hulu's focus was on creating a great user experience. It's sad to see them shift away from caring about their users.
