It’s been a year filled with (not-so-good) news about the Disney+ app.. At the beginning of the year, we said that the app will have an ad-free plan, and now news is circulating that the streaming app will lose 4 million subscribers in the previous quarter, which is very bad news.

Last subscription price increase, content censorship scandals and content not accepted by the current public They got Dev to think of new strategies to stop the bleeding a bit. Now, a rumor is circulating that Disney+ and Hulu could be combined into one app.

Disney+ and Hulu could be one

Web interaction mentioned that Disney+ and Hulu could merge later this year, as noted by Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger. This announcement caused users to start speculating about what might happen with their individual subscriptions to both services.

He said the company will continue to offer Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ as standalone options, but the combination of services is a “logical progression” from its direct-to-consumer offerings and will provide greater opportunities for advertisers. subscribers’ access to more powerful services. and simplified content.

Merger could also affect ESPN+ users

This merger will be the final result. Complete acquisition of Comcast by Disney (remembering that the mouse company has a 66% stake):

Given that Comcast still owns 33 percent of Hulu, this announcement suggests Disney may be looking to buy shares of the cable TV and media company. However, Iger didn’t detail the company’s plans, saying Disney is in “constructive” talks with Comcast about the future of Hulu.

During the interview posted on Gadget There were also ads that might not make users very happy.. Because, although there is no clear date in subscription fees, it seems that there may be a new increase.

The company didn’t say when it will raise prices for the service, but when it does, the ad-free and ad-supported tiers will cost more than $11 and $8, respectively.

Now it looks like we’re going to have a new plan that might affect other apps in the group, like the combo with Star+ or ESPN+.
