Hulu vs. YouTube

Right off the bat, the first thing that I noticed when looking at Hulu next to YouTube was the quality. While it is possible to find SOME decent quality videos on YouTube, they don't even come close to quality you can find on Hulu. Also, I went on Hulu to watch an episode of Family Guy. It was easy enough to find the latest episode, download it and watch without any interruptions except the short commercials. When I tried to do the same on YouTube, it became quite the complicated process. First, to find the latest episode of Family Guy, I had to know what specific season and episode I was looking for...which I generally don't keep track of. Then, after some searching, I learned that I had to put it into the right format. Instead of Season 9, episode 14, I had to type in Family Guy 09x14. When I finally did find the episode it was in three different parts. On top of that the picture and sound quality were both sub-par and it took forever to load. Needless to say, for my tv and movie needs... I will be sticking to Hulu.
