Post #6-YouTube & Hulu

I've used Hulu a couple of times before, but I definetely spend a lot more time on YouTube. For this assigment, I looked up episodes of Moder Family. It was really hard to find full episoded on YouTube, I could only find short clips, but wasn't able to see a full episode. Whereas on Hulu I could easily find and watch entire episodes. Both sites have their own use, for example YouTube is more like a participatory 2.0 place where you find more variety of music, movies, home made videos, almost any type of entretainment videos. Hulu is a more formal and exclusively way of watching movies and TV shows. I prefer watching TV shows on TV, but when I miss an episode, hulu is a great option. You almost get the same time of commercials that on TV, which is kind of annoying, but is understandable as demmands increase, commercias gotta increase for more profit. That's another reason why I like YouTube more, you get ads, but they are not as many and bothering. YouTube is getting more restricted regarding copyrights, I believe as more people are mocking pretty much any video or movie, more restrictions have to be applied and moderated. Some way is a good choice to put down videos that are violating copyrights, before they get sue and have to shut down the site, which I absolutely doubt. Hulu won't have this problem since they seem to handle this issue in a very organized manner.
