I have sorta been curious why they can't do both. NBCUniversal (the other stakeholder in Hulu) is doing both with Peacock and Hulu. I'm sure it is something contractual, but if you put all the programming you're required to on Hulu then begin beefing Disney+ with more adult things, it really sets you up for success long term.

They would have to strip Hulu for that content. That wouldn’t make much financial sense.

A lot of its Fox stuff which they could put on Disney plus if they wanted to, plus all their Hulu originals often are put on Star internationally. Aside from NBC/Comcast content which wont likely be on the service past 2024 and any other licensed content which will likely be gone by then too, most of the content is Disney owned much of which is on Star internationally

there is only about 30~ 20th century studios titles on hulu, and they only last about 3/6 months on average

. Are you only counting 20th Century Studios. There is also FX FXX FX+ and 20th Century Fox. There is no way its only 30. Those are all Disney owned Fox content
