I agree with the other comments. It's bad enough that they raise prices, but then to add commercials? I started watching streaming to AVOID the commercials! It was worth paying a few bucks to not have commercials THAT was the reason for paid streaming in the first place.
Hulu hasn't been able to sell subscriptions for their mega ad-laden service for years.
I've been on one promo after another .99 to $1.99 for years ! Just so you they can claim they have subscribers. I'd never pay more than 1.99 to watch commercials! And really as little as I've watched Hulu in the last year (maybe 5 hrs) it's really not even worth that, except that my brother watches it somestimes as well (maybe another 15 hrs a year). And then they want to crack down on sharing?? OK,
bye !
Same with D+ the first year I watched a lot. Now, new content trickles out so slowly, most of which I'm no longer even interested in...After ruining Marvel and setting out to consciously destroy the Star Wars franchise as well, it's another service not worth more than $1/mo (with ads) which is about what we're paying.
We cancelled Disney for 8 months when they went from $7 to $9/mo. Then they immediately went to $10/mo. So we cancelled again. Then got a promo a month later at Thanksgiving. For the 5 hrs a year watching new content on Disney , it's probably not even worth $1/mo either.
When prime and all the premium streaming services become just another Pluto or Tubi but want you to pay,
It's time to move on.
I have also recently re-discovered that I can watch shows with commercials for free on OTA channels as well.😂
