Yes its true.
Hulu is in competition.
Videos on the web became more readily available as high speed internet connections beat out dial up service. It was around 2004 that Flash videos started taking over the web by dedicated servers streaming the video content. In 2007 companies like Netflix started teaming up with Starz Play with their streaming service, and EZtakes came around town for independent film, both streaming full length movies. The TV networks decided they wanted a piece of the pie and Hulu.com came out of nowhere to lead the pack strong.

Now back to Youtube(a San Bruno company bought out recently by Google) wanting some advertising revenue. They see Hulu making some waves and they want the entire ocean. So far, the limited video selection is not optimal to go rooting for although I usually do root for Google and its products. Give it some time and lets see what happens. Though in my opinion, if Google wants to engage more viewers to stream full length movies instead of watching little clips here and there, they need to buy out Netflix.

The selection so far is nothing to cry home about, but keep checking back and see what develops here.
