Why Do People Pay For HULU Plus? (revisited)

HULU vs. HULU+

A few months ago, I published a post asking WHY do people pay for HULU Plus?, when there is HULU free and there are so many ways to watch HULU without paying for it. I just didn't "get it". Well, I have just had a free trial of HULU Plus, and I have to tell you, Now I Get It. While HULU free may work for some people, there is a group of people who would be better served by HULU+.

Just who are these people, and how can they justify the princely sum of $7.99 a month just to watch TV? Could you be one of these people? 
Lets compare HULU free vs. HULU+.

Why Do People Pay For HULU Plus?

HULU, or HULU+?

 
 I just don't get it. Why do people continue to pay for Hulu Plus, especially when you consider that Hulu FREE gives you shows that you won't get on Hulu Plus? That's right, if you pay for Hulu Plus, there are shows you can only watch on Hulu Free. And you can only watch Hulu for free on a computer! And on a "device" like a ROKU or Android Tablet, there is a group of shows you can only watch on a computer - even if you're paying for HULU+. And that group of shows includes "The Simpsons"!

But if you have a decent computer, you can connect your computer directly to your TV, or you can use PlayOn or Plex servers to stream Hulu Free to your Roku box, game console, or other streaming device. So why pay for Hulu Plus?
