10 Reasons Hulu Is the Best Streaming Service Right Now

2. Original Content Is Overrated

These days, Netflix is slimming down its library of content in favor of investing billions of dollars in original content. That strategy has paid off in Emmy nominations, sure, but there’s a huge drawback to this strategy. For every Stranger Things or The Crown, there’s a dozen shows that suck as much as The Ranch and Girlboss. In other words, Netflix is slowly dumping their back catalogue in favor of new shows, the vast majority of which are middling at best. That means you’re paying your monthly fee for what amounts to a few great shows in a sea of garbage. Hulu, meanwhile, is still investing big money in their back catalogue, while showing remarkable, but shrewd restraint in entering the original content sphere.
