    Does this mean Disney will be moving most/all their content to Disney+ in the US like it is in other countries? Isn’t Hulu a predominantly American used streaming service?

      Hulu will continue existing and Disney+ will likely not take on any content. They cater to two target markets and they own both, so that works for them.

        It also helps obscure the monopolistic back-to-cable tactic they’re playing. “Oh we have Hulu, Disney+, ESPN+, our customers get to choose what they want! There’s value and choice and freedom!”
