Bob Iger is planning on merging Disney+ and Hulu into one streaming service by the end of 2023.

I had a feeling this would happen since Universal (the only other owner of Hulu, and they only have a minority stake) pulled its content from Hulu last year, leaving Disney with sole reign over the service.

You'll be missed, Hulu. R.I.P.

Another one bites the dust.

Before it was known as a streaming monolith through the bulk of its shelf life, I enjoyed using Hulu when it came to cartoon clips or episodes without needing a subscription. Family Guy clips from them were a staple with 2009 YouTube.

Part of me still hates Hulu for decimating the South Park Studios site, but I guess that was bound to happen no matter what.

These mergers aren’t good. We really can go without Disney having to eat up every single thing under the sun.
