**Updated** Hulu Will Charge Users in 2010

Posted by Kaitlin Mattison on 10/23/09 • Categorized as Television

Updated: According to EW.com, Hulu will only be charging for some–not all–content and it is unknown when the program will be enacted.

Originally published on October 23: According to Broadcasting & Cable, the popular Web site Hulu will begin charging users a fee in order to watch online content sometime in 2010. Hulu has become the go-to site to watch free episodes of television shows in high-quality streaming format.

iTunes currently dominates the market for selling online video content, whether it be a television show or current movie. The Twitter world is wondering whether Hulu could actually give them a run for their money, or if its allure solely based on it being free:

    brainofj RT @VaynerMedia:Hulu will begin charging for content in 2010. Hulu will be out of business before end of 2010.

    Cruftbox @shanenickerson Charging for Hulu is different than Netflix. DVD rentals have never been free. Video on the net has always been free.

    aaronburrows @brainofj Why would I pay to use something as unreliable as Hulu when I already pay for Netflix? #FailFriday

    akgcandlefish has spent the last hour arguing with a staunch capitalist on the relative merits of Hulu charging for its content.
