In the uk Hulu stuff is already on Disney+ as "Star". I imagine they want that in the US as well since it gives a lot of value to Disney+. I think it's better however... Monopolies and all that.

For all the stuff Disney own, there sure is a lot of fuck all new on Disney+.

They're relying on their stupidly big back catalogue.

Yeah it is a bit of a trickle, but I personally don't mind it since I'm not a binge watcher anymore. I enjoy focusing on one or two shows at a time and if theyre releasing weekly, even better.
