    God damn it. I knew Disney getting into the streaming biz was going to suck balls. I was already pissed off when they pulled their content to form their own service.

    Well, guess I’ll be watching more anime. Only got Crunchyroll left. And I’m not sure how long that’s gonna last either. They are making stupid choices as well.

      I am so angry about this. I generally like Hulu, I hate Disney+.

        I’d have liked Hulu a lot more if it weren’t geo-restricted to the US.

    It isn’t shutting down, it is just being folded into Disney+. You can still get a standalone Hulu subscription but as of sometimenext year will only be accessible through the the Disney+ app.

  I’m pretty sure it was never free and without ads. There were much fewer and even sometimes would have really quick “thanks for watching now get back to the show” ads but ad free has always been paid

    It was only ad free for like a year, if that. I originally thought it was a piracy site when I first found it.

      Pretty confident you’re wearing rose tinted glasses. They had very few ads in the beginning. you could get through multiple episodes without getting them but they definitely existed. Maybe you had an ad blocker? I literally can’t find any evidence it was ever both and I was using it within the first few months of it’s public release
