    A strange title for the article. Nothing in there suggests to me that Disney has “admitted Netflix won”, quite the opposite in fact. It is more aggressive and more competitive than ever.

      Disney is fucking up by retiring the Hulu brand. They should’ve leaned into it as their bundle offering. Offered the channels a la carte under their own name (Disney, FX, ESPN), or as a Hulu bundle.

        I despise the Hulu brand. It is the only streaming service I actually liked, and enjoyed the content of back in the day. But it constantly gave me tech issues. The last straw was when I googled an error code the web viewer gave me, and it said I need to update my video drivers. My computer was up to date and I cancelled. If I can’t watch anything why should I pay?

          Hulu was the absolute shit back before they almost got shut down and had to start charging. It was basically Napster, but for streaming South Park.

          Incidentally, what does this all mean for the KOTH continuation? It’s on Hulu, so do I need to tell people it’s on Disney now or something? I pirate so idk, but for recommending to other people they always ask “where at?”
