So they what, own 2 different streaming services that they want us to subscribe to (that I know of so far) Hulu and Disney+?

Oh god I just realized what's worse than each individual company wanting their own streaming service like Netflix. Now each individual company wants to make more than 1 of their own streaming service so they can steal money from their customers. Omg

Its partly owned. Hulu was a joint venture, but through various sales over time Disney just became the majority owner. Comcast/Universal owns part of it as well.

Also they put the more mature content on Hulu while keeping Disney+ appropriate for family content.

Disney, NBC Universal, and Fox started Hulu as a joint venture. Since Disney bought Fox they now own 66% of it. Comcast/NBCU are in the process of selling their share.

If anything, once Disney acquires 100% theyll keep the rights to the content they want and absorb Hulu and Disney+. Im sure part of the negotiations will be what Universal gets to keep for Peacock.

I dont think Hulu had any content itself that was a joint production between studios so that shouldn't be too big an issue. The ownership change also would impact any of the streaming licenses they have, but I would fully expect that any NBCU productions to eventually come off Hulu as their licenses expire, even if the show was originally a Hulu original.

They already offer all three of them in a bundle for a big discount. That's all that they would ever need to do.

Yeah for now... and then they remove the discount for a while, people begin clamoring for it, and bam that's how they get you
