When I gave up my TV, I also gave up my commercial-skipping DVR. The few shows I do watch are all through hulu.com. Instead of my 60" TV I watch the show on a 4" display in the middle of a web page. Instead of skipping commercials with the jump button, I watch commercials because hulu gives me no other option.
And I don't really mind.
If there were several commercials in a row, I'd probably be unhappy, but 2-3 commercial breaks, each containing 1 ad, is ok with me.
The currency I spend to watch "TV" on hulu.com is my time and attention. Perhaps Comcast doesn't get this. I've never thought that any executive decision at Comcast indicated they were in touch with the public, but the thought of charging for hulu is amazingly absurd to me.
Here's my promise: if it happens, the last free show on hulu will be the last show I ever watch.
I can spend my attention on something else.
