Disney forecast to steal Netflix’s crown as world’s biggest streaming firm

theguardian.com

Looks like they include the Hulu property in their metric/prediction, so this pronouncement is a bit misleading— and not exactly a fair fight if Disney can count/include Hulu to say they are “#1,” whenever that might be.. (they are forecasting that to be 2024)

Why would Hulu be excluded?

It is a video streaming service is it not?

You aren’t getting my point. Netflix is just Netflix. It’s not fair for Disney to be able to include 3 different streaming services (they own all 3 of Disney+/ESPN+/Hulu) in their numbers/stats in order to claim #1 overall streaming service.

It’s not fair...

Don't hurt Netflix?

I don't think Disney really cares about "fair" as long as they have more subscribers.
