An on going battle between Hulu and Netflix has raged on for years. Hulu offers instant tv shows a day after the aired on TV, but Netflix offers seasons around six months after the season airs. The real question is which one is better, so I tried out Hulu because lets face it if you don't already have Netflix account are you even in 2016. Below I have pros and cons for hulu, and remember these are just my opinions

Pros of Hulu

1. Hulu offers the fastest way to watch your favorite shows a day after they have been aired. This means that you can still keep up with the best shows even if you don't have basic cable.

2. Hulu has a decent variety of the latest TV shows for the most part, and from what I could see it did keep up with the latest TV trends

Cons of Hulu

1. It doesn't have every season of most shows. This was so disappointing because as vampire diaries fan I was really excited to know they had season 7 but they only had the last few episodes of the season. This is because these were the most recently played episodes on TV. This happened a lot with other series that I really enjoyed.

2. If you don't buy premium you will have to watch commercials. Plain ole' hulu is $7.99 a month but the major drawback to this is that while your watching your TV show's episode it will force you to watch a commercial in between some scenes. Premium is $11.99 and doesn't have you watch commercials. I mean if you're cool with watching commercials then you do you,but personally if I wanted to deal with commercials i would watch regular TV.

Basically this in my opinion IS NOT WORTH IT. I mean what the heck am I paying that much for when they only have a few episodes. I can not even believe that people pay for this, after paying for it I instantly regretted it. I thought it would be such an awesome addition to my Netflix addiction but i was so wrong it hurt. I ended my subscription almost instantly because I was so disappointed with the product. This just reassured my love for Netflix, and don't worry baby I ain't ever leavin' you again.

So that's, that in my opinion Hulu is totally not worth it. Check in with my articles weekly so you can get the rawest, unfiltered reviews possible!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
