If you don't own the content, you get squeezed. Hulu, Spotify all of these guys get nickle-dimed into oblivion.

That doesn’t apply to Hulu though. It’s been co-owned by various media giants since inception (currently Disney, previously Fox and NBC.)

It made sense back when it was launched but is basically redundant with Disney+ at this point. Still profitable though
