The suspension triggered strong responses across social media and beyond. Hashtags like #CancelDisneyPlus and #CancelHulu trended as users shared screenshots of their canceled subscriptions.
With cancellations surging, many subscribers reported technical issues. On Reddit’s r/Fauxmoi, one post read, “The page to cancel your Hulu/Disney+ subscription keeps crashing.”
I sometimes sit with my dad who still watches broadcast tv. It’s dead already, my dude. A commercial break is about 10 commercials, eight of which are for prescription drugs. I once saw an entire commercial break that was nothing but prescription and OTC drugs. No insurance, no car or beer commercials, just wall to wall drugs. It’s insanity.
I cancelled all of my streaming services a few years ago. I prefer cable, where I find I mainly watch the big four broadcast networks. I.e Fox, CBS, ABC, NBC. I’m not dealing with a million streaming services or figuring out which one I need to watch which show. I’ll just pirate those shows for that. My commercials aren’t as bad as yours, I’m guessing it’s region specific. I like the local news and some of the stupid prime time shit. If I’m going to stream or pirate something, I feel like I’m really committing to fully watching it. Cable is nice to have on in the background while I’m doing other stuff on my phone or computer. But I’m old so I’m used to it and I grew up with it. It has a certain charm. I suppose people who grew up with streaming services will not understand.
Either way, it’s not trumps business to bully people with the FCC. But like everything else now, no one will stop him.
