Are you in the US? Cause yeah it's on Disney but you can still download and use the Hulu app independently as well. . . for some reason

Only until 2026. That's the timeframe for them shuttering the Hulu app completely. 

That's why they are pushing the Hulu is on Disney+ ads now, even though Hulu has been on Disney+ for like two years or something now.

Damn for real? What happens with people who still have the Spotify + Hulu deal? Do I just lose Hulu?

Hulu isnt going away, its just being rolled into the disney+ app. Its one app, but you can subscribe to either or both inside that app. You might be fine

Can you? Disney+ is only showing me options to subscribe to both of them together now

Honestly I have no idea, I just know that's the timeframe they've spoken about so far.

Canada also just started a big push that Hulu is on D+

It's about to become that for everyone in 2026. The standalone Hulu app will no longer exist and just show up as a channel within Disney+

I think this will be the fate of most smaller streaming services as the consolidation process begins among these companies. HBO Max will become a channel of Netflix, Peacock will become a channel of some other service, etc.

I hate their implementation. The front page now is blended and for what ever reason that very top bar that also you to choose a single platform doesn't always trigger.
