When it comes to paying for a streaming service, I go with Netflix because I get awesome documentaries, British television, the occasional great movie, a bunch of okay movies, some really fine original programming, all without commercials.

As for Hulu, the thing is, the majority of stuff I want to watch is already free with a non-paid membership.
