Got a tip for us?

Disney+ and Hulu to Be Combined Into One App

I wonder what will happen with the Verizon bundle. I only have Disney because it's essentially free with Verizon service. I do pay seven dollars a month to get the ad free version of Hulu. If Verizon loses its Disney stuff, or they raise the price on the ad free, I'll probably just ignore the bundle.
Do you hear that sound? The sound of a pirate ship approaches! 🏴☠️

This is the type of arguing I hate. “If you don’t agree with me, you must be a terrible person!” You don’t know who I am, who I am friends with, what my life is like, and what I do for a living. Your only knowledge of me is my profile.
As long as I don’t have to pay for ESPN I am ok with this but I fear that they will eventually bundle like cable with a big bump in price.
Yeah, that’s why free services like Tubi and Pluto TV are really good.
Right! I’ll ditch Hulu with another price increase. Hopefully enough people do the same to have them reverse course.Oh, perfect ANOTHER price increase. Thanks Disney!
Did you not read the article? "but Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ will also still be available as standalone services". You are not paying anything additional for HULU as a stand alone app.
Like how much of a price increase? I pay a combined of $4.98 for both Hulu and Disney plus lol!
… and for our first trick, watch as you wallet gets thinner … abra cadra price increase!
One time they emailed me a special so I signed up and used my student discount with it lolTEACH ME YOUR WAYS
A combined app may be good. Hope the price hike will be a small one.
Got rid of Hulu w/Live TV as it ballooned in price.
Don’t watch sports, no need for ESPN.
I pay annually for D+ though, guess I’ll be subsidizing ESPN and Hulu now 🤬

I wouldn’t be shocked if they just went to bundle plan only and did 29.99/mo and $299/yr this is Disney you got to pay for the experience haha just like Disney World.
We did the same thing. We’ve never had any use fo ESPN (or any other sports network, really), and the fact is our young one is not much of a Disney fan after all. He’s never been into the Marvel stuff, and we’ve watched all the Star Wars stuff we cared at all about. He rarely used Disney+ and then it was usually to watch some NatGeo stuff.
I had a couple of other issues with Hulu that made the decision to drop it easier.
1. I found Hulu’s live streaming quality to be pretty awful. Tons of buffering regardless of device or type of connection (even hard-wired). We have gigabit fiber.
2. Whatever they do to inject/serve ads is bonkers. Toward the end of our time with Hulu we were getting constant ads for HIV drugs at all hours of the day. Those are not explanations/conversations I want to have with my young one just yet. Two of my work colleagues also dropped Hulu for the same reason.
Oh no. This is bad news all around, and I say that as a subscriber. Gotta love how corporations can spin them doing something that nobody asked them to do or even wanted, into a reason why they have to raise prices.
Hulu's interface is better than Disney's. I hope a new app would have an even better interface than either old app. However with the trend in UI design these days, I expect it to be more user hostile. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

It took a lot of thought and weighing pros and cons for me to renew at $110 if they increase it may end up with no thanks. Perhaps if the price increase only happens if you want Hulu also.
