Hulu vs Youtube

I watched an episode of Family guy on Hulu and it was very convenient considering the fact that I dont record the episodes on direct tv and there aren't any options to watch the show under premiums in my tv programming.  There were two minor commercials, and then the episode.  Granted that you connection has high speed action, the streaming is fairly fluid and has great quality picture.
I watched different homemade shorts on youtube.  Youtube provides advertisements at the bottom of the screens while you watch the videos, and one can choose to click out of them.  There generally aren't any full episodes or videos or 5minutes.  The videos are meant for microcelebrities who want to get more and more popular.  Youtube is a good way to get famous fast, lonely island used youtube after they were first created.  Now Andy Samberg is a regular on Saturday Night Live.  This is of course an extreme example, but a valid example all the same
