Disney planning to end password sharing for Disney+ and Hulu​

On a recent earnings call, Disney CEO Bob Iger hinted that the company will end the practice of password sharing for both Disney+ and Hulu, both of which are operated by Disney. “We already have the technical capability to monitor much of this,” he said, per The A.V. Club. Apparently they stand to make a pretty penny by disallowing people to share accounts. As you’d expect, there’s a lot of that currently going on. “I’m not going to give a specific number, except to say that it is significant.”

Iger suggested that a ban on password sharing will go into effect sometime in 2024. According to Dextero, they’re also raising prices for both Disney+ and Hulu, like so:

• Disney+: $10.99 to $13.99
• Hulu: $14.99 to $17.99
• Disney+ and Hulu bundle: $20.00 to $24.99

Everyone I know that had D+ canceled it this year, and most of them actually liked MCU product. I thought the service was a total wasteland.
