No increase for the bundles this time. Also this is how I learn you can bundle with Max??

Hulu felt like magic when it was free with a single ad each break.

I'm done with Hulu... thankfully, I convinced my wife to finally say no to live tv. I switched the plan last month, and it's gone as 8/8. I've been with them for about 4 years now, and it was $40 a month then, and that was with extras like unlimited tvs and no ads. Now it's $85, and that's cutting the TV streams and adding ads back.

When it renews, I am getting just Hulu for the year, which is $5 bucks less than 1 month now. The only thing that she watches live anymore is news, some sports, and the occasional event like Olympics. NBC (or peacock?) is like $7 a month and should cover most of it. Sorry Hulu, you got too greedy.

it was always too good to be true, they were operating at a major loss to capture market share.

Wild to me that they still have yet to fix their Android TV Hulu app. It's a premium streaming service with essentially no functionality on a significant number of streaming devices.
