Things are gonna get pretty bad. In addition to NBCUniversal potentially pulling Hulu content at some point, AT&T will be pulling WarnerMedia content from Netflix and Hulu for their upcoming streaming platform. It would be a pain but might have to just start rotating subscriptions depending on what I want to watch. Which sucks because I'd rather not have to "commit" to certain shows at a time.
Especially not now that there are.....not sure if this breaks rules, so I'll just say especially now that there are very affordable ways to ensure any torrenting can't be traced to your IP address.
I'm paying $40ish right now? I actually don't think that's too unreasonable. I'd also they rather take over Hulu than create a separate subscription service.
@Anominal The problem is that anything that isn’t Disney that used Hulu now has to create their own streaming services, Disney is going to pull a Netflix and kick all that shit off right quick. Also, Disney+ is Disney’s new upcoming streaming service so they in fact did make their own streaming service.
Oh right. I guess I'm expecting the two to merge, but I don't know that's the case.
But as for kicking anything off their service, I don't really rememeber how much of it wasn't Fox (Which Disney now owns) or Disney. I guess the options for that stuff is to create their own paid services like CBS All Access (which I pay for and happy with.) or join up with someone else.
This *is* what a lot of people wanted in the beginning to stop paying for full cable packages for channels they don't want and only pay for channels they do want. $6 a month for Survivor and new Star Trek shows is something I'm happy to pay. I also feel like being able to cancel just CBS gives me more ability to talk more with my wallet.

I think the plan is to keep Hulu around - Disney+ will have Disney movies, more family-oriented content, and Marvel/Star Wars stuff, and Hulu will keep on with more adult oriented original programming like Handmaid's Tale and perhaps more FOX content that they acquired from the acquisition.

bingo! i think @MrX just hit the nail on the head, that's from what I understand the plan is going to be.

That’s my understanding as well. This control shift also allows Disney to set pricing so I suspect they’ll offer a Hulu/Disney+ bundle for a discount to what they’d cost separately.
Since I already have Hulu and Disney+ looks like a great value for the price, this will save me some money so I’m good with it short term (the philosophical question as to whether one company should own so much entertainment media aside).
I also realized that I already buy every MCU movie with special features. I already pay for Hulu. This may work out to be cheaper for me than I currently pay. Or I pay a tiny bit more and also get every Star Wars and Pixar movie.

I haven't pirated anything since Napster first came out but I'm sure as hell not going to pay $250 a month for streaming services
