    It’s weird that Disney felt compelled to pull in Hulu’s green / teal brand colors. Disney+ has more users and Disney has the more valuable brand by a mile.

      Much like HBO getting rolled into a tiny section of a greater app full of garbage even though it was the most successful thing previously.

        That’s the funny thing about UI/UX - sometimes changing non-functional colors can hurt things.

    Idk how I feel about this whole thing. We had the bundle for a while and then they added another standalone Hulu subscription on top. And tried to convince us that’s what we wanted/asked for.

    I don’t even want to pay for one subscription, let alone twice for the same one.

      Last year I found that there was a bundle. But I had to sign up for it via Hulu. Now I still get billed for both. At one point I thought that I was over paying, but I found that the Hulu bundle reduces my Disney sub price to add up to the bundle price.

      I think. All I know is that it seems more complicated than it should be.

        Oh, and by cancelling my Peacock subscription, I was able to sign up for it free (ad-supported), with my Instacart account.

        What a world.

    The Hulu app runs so much faster on my appleTV than the Disney app, so while the idea of having them bunched together isn’t a terrible one from a user’s perspective, I’ll still just jump to Hulu when I want to watch that content because everything is snappier.

      Hulu’s UI is so much better. You can tell that it’s something that a team has iterated on for a lot longer.
