Deal Details
I was recently charged 149.79 for the annual Disney plus service with out ads. When I called customer service to cancel it based on the price increase, I was told I could add the Disney Plus basic to my already established Hulu Student account.

I assume you have to have the student account to get this to work. But if you do go into your account settings, there you will find a billings page with optional add-ons to your plan. Once you click that you will see an option to add Disney plus with ads to your Hulu account. NOTE: this can only be done thru your Hulu.com profile account and on Google chrome, not via the app or Disney website.

Total I am now being billed monthly is 4.27 for both streaming services vs the $9.99 monthly bundle price for the same services.

I hate to say it but the golden age (for customers) of the Streaming Wars is over. I guess we could see a similar deal as last Black Friday for this combo, but I doubt it.

All these streaming platforms have shifted from "acquire and keep subscribers at any cost" to "we need to start making money on this" for several reasons:

1. they were mostly subsidizing costs for us compared to what they were paying to third parties, licensing, residuals, creation content, etc. It wasn't even close.
2. Consolidation is happening, and will accelerate...meaning less competition. Easier to pitch yourself to a buying company if your financials show black instead of red
3. shareholders! They're tired of losing money! This last one is more indirect, but it is absolutely creating pressure for all these companies to increase efficiency and profitablity instead of sub growth.
I agree but their mistake is doing it now. Within a bad economy with high inflation, customers are making cuts to what isn't really necessary. Today, even deals are not bringing a lot of customers. Who needs a $140 Disney+?

if you cancel your current plan, then they'll give you an option to keep the same plan for another 6 months.
I Just agreed to the $3 Hulu plan (originally $2 for 1 year), and and if you go back into your account Disney+ is showing as an add-on service for an extra $2 per month.

Hulu has done it every year. I doubt they'll stop. The offer didn't start until November 20th last year.
Great--In that case, I am counting on that! Thanks

But that's only for 6 months, right (the hulu part)?

Please show your work for 'bad economy'. May not use reference to the talking heads that have been saying a global/US recession is imminent for 2+ years now.

Also please look at inflation graph for past several years…currently at 3.2.
