I wish this was obviously a death sentence or pr nightmare for the service but in practice it must not be for a lot of people, enough to make it worth attempting. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago Seeing some of those idiots even in the comments on fucking Lemmy of all places is crazy. permalink fedilink source parent [–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago They are owned by the cable company, so who knows. permalink fedilink source parent [–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago This is squeezing money out of a dying service. That's all. Hulu is, IIRC, mostly owned by Disney and on its way out. But it was always in an awkward place, without the critical mass of Netflix or some other giant tech/content ecosystem (Amazon, Apple, Disney and such) to push it. In hindsight, it’s kinda laughable that anyone thought it would last. permalink fedilink source parent
