YouTube and Hulu

I usually go to these two websites for their own specific reasons. I watched a lot of clips on Hulu that were from SNL. I've always loved that show even though the quality of the humor has gone down in recent years. I watch some other shows and clips on Hulu but not that many. I go there to catch up on funny clips from shows that I haven't seen. I think Hulu should implement a different advertisement strategy for people who are primarily watching shortened clips rather than entire episodes of shows. It's annoying to see an ad every time I want to watch a clip that is one to two minutes long. I think they should have an algorithm set up to see how long you've been watching clips and at each 5 minute interval or maybe even 10 minutes, they show you a 15 second ad. This would make watching multiple clips less annoying while still showing ads. I go to YouTube for music that I want to hear as well as funny videos. I have ad blocker on Chrome so I don't have to see ads on YouTube which is totally awesome. Anyone reading this should definitely search the Web Store on Chrome for Ad block plus for free, it's well worth zero dollars. I generally have a better time on YouTube since I don't have to deal with ads but I go to Hulu for my copyrighted viewing needs.
