    The people pay for it so why can’t we share it with just one other family member? That Thirsty for every dollar huh Hulu

      I'm pretty sure you'll be able to share account with one person, but not several people

    The world needs to can cancel, cancel cancel. Lets hit them back. Streaming channel’s are getting to be just like cable that we all hate. Get off the TV and live your life everyone. Spend time with your kids and family outdoors, it’s healthier and better for your spirit.

    They need to quit doing this. That’s why I have streaming so I can go to work and travel and watch at a new place every day. This is dumb. I work in a new place daily

      ​@@ronaldjohnson9096 It wont work unfortunately. We saw what happened with Netflix. Not only were they not at all negatively affected, but they gain more in subscriber counts. Other companies probably took notice and are doing the same

    The problem is MORE people did in fact sign up when Netflix did this so now more will follow suit. Many people are app hopping. Catch up on all then cancel go onto next app catch up and so on.

    They’re not becoming cable. You can pause or cancel at anytime and you can pick which streaming services you want instead of being forced to have 3,000 channels that you don’t need.

    I am so glad I left before this happened. I already left because it kept restarting my TV shows and movies even when I was in the middle of watching them. So this is a win-win situation for me.

    Please don’t do that Hulu my entire family uses it on many platforms like our tvs phones or tablets and travel everywhere
    We love to binge watch many things please don’t make a change it’s a new year and we should all be trying to have a better mindset than last year
    We want to be happy healthy with our family members and friends

      It's effective in March for everyone, they're just trying to slow the pushback from subscribers so they're emailing people slowly.
