Yeah, I really thought Disney would fold Hulu content into Disney+ and end Hulu. Maybe they want some sort of comparison of an ad-supported and non-ad supported service. (I realize you can opt for a no-ad version of Hulu, but I think many still use the ad-laiden version).
It will be interesting to see how streaming services adjust to their own proliferation. And even more to see what draws consumers. Especially as content producers continue to try and figure out the balance between licensing your stuff to competing services (big money now) or hoarding it to build your own service (big money later as more subscribe to your service). It was interesting to see this play out as Warner decided to extend use of Friends on Netflix before ending it in favor of their own service.
