Feels like Disney owns damn near everything these days. Not literally, but man they really do seem to own an enormous amount of other companies now

They probably aren't going to change it much because they're gonna want people subbed to both Hulu and Disney+

Fun.

Not terribly surprised - seems like it would make sense for Disney to dump all their more adult stuff here, including their entire Fox catalogue, while Disney+ is used for Marvel, Star Wars, Disney and all other general massive hype machines.

Maybe they'll make it available outside the US. I can't personally understand how a library like that was amassed only for US use

The plan is to package Disney+ and Hulu for same price together as Netflix alone, supposedly.

If this leads to Simpsons episodes on Hulu instead of the crappy FXX app, I'm all in

Disney's already confirmed that The Simpsons will be heading to Disney+ instead of Hulu.

Disney is fine with this content they know how to keep brands separate.

They're not segregating Marvel like that, as they already have new shows announced for both platforms.

i don't particularly care for the hulu model, so i guess this doesn't affect me

paying for a subscription while still getting ads is anathema to what i'm looking for in a streaming service

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

I'm not endorsing Hulu because I still hate using it, but that's why they have the cheap option and ad-free for a few more dollars per month. And since Netflix has slowly raised their sub price to match that plan (both around $12/mo unless you dont want HD), it now seems a lot more "fair."

This is an annoying era for streaming though

I didn't even know this was a thing. I watch on my Xbox and have never seen ads once.
