Agreed, but I sure hope if this happens that they keep the two / three ads per episode model. I feel like that's pretty fair. We get to watch good TV online, they get to show us a few ads. But if they go all Youtube and start inserting flash overlay banners I'll jump ship.

I really liked Hulu when it was two or three ads per episode. Now I get two ads at a time, and a 30 minute episode of The Simpsons contains 4-5 ad breaks. It bothers me more than just watching it on TV.

Edit: The House episode I'm watching has 6 ad breaks, each of those have 1 or 2 ads.
