Nope....
"However, Iger says not to expect Disney to license its “core brands” to the competitor: “Those are real, obviously competitive advantages for us and differentiators. Disney Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, for instance, all doing very, very well on our platform, and I don’t see why just to basically chase bucks we should do that when they are really really important building blocks to the current and future of our streaming business.”"

I agree, it’s not going to find an audience, especially after how poorly the film’s going to do.Nope....

That is not what I mean and you know it.
So your snide comment aside, none of the Marvel stuff including Ms Marvel will be going to Netflix.

But i thought Bob Iger said he wouldn't License out the Core Brands of Disney if they take away all of the Content (From Walt Disney Animation Studios, Disney Channel and Disney Television Animation) and put it on Netflix i'm gonna be sad
"Certain titles" does not necessarily include the core brands.

I had totally forgotten Hulu used to be a free streaming site.What to Expect From Disney’s FAST Expansion

“Hulu is going to help make D+/ Disney DTC profitable…”

It is the ad version so they will make money from it.
It is taking a while but we are heading back to the ad supported model just with companies providing their own stuff in bundles/à la carte instead of cable where you had to take all 100+ channels of junk to get the handful you wanted.

Does D+ have any sort of feedback option? I don't think so, but I would really love something where I can give them better data - i.e. where you "like" or "dislike" something you've watched. something that could let them know what preferences you have for both recommended shows in the future but also so they could know what was a show you watched that you liked (and would watch more) vs something you watched and did not (and would not watch again or anything additional). Obviously, if someone just stops watching something half way through the series they can tell, but it doesn't exactly capture the situation of someone who just watched something to complete it and get the ending, but ended up not really liking it that much.
I might have asked this before though, so I apologize if I'm being repetative.

You know that the sub shortfall is being made up by GMA/COACH, right?
That's how advertising works.

Now that's tempting - if only to be able to watch ABC shows I missed the next day instead of having to wait 8 days on ABC.com. And the occasional FX show. But I'm hoping for a Disney+ or bundle deal. And debating whether to jump back into Max for a month or two since that's being offered for $3/month for Black Friday. And if Amazon Prime offers a deal, I might be tempted by that, too.
Go Black Friday streaming deals!

Interestingly enough, this is where Disney's hiding their Disney+ Black Friday promotion.
If you sign up for this promotion with an account not connected to an active Disney+, they'll offer you Disney+ with ads for 12 months as a $2 ad-on. (Reminder, this same plan is $7.99 a month, currently)
So much for dropping the low paying accounts, I guess.
Sneaky way of doing it though while trying to avoid their main audience noticing and trying to jump ship for that pricing.
Speaking of the ads, I think Disney's got their work cut out for them. It was kind of funny seeing the same Papers Flushable Wipes ad across each commercial break over the course of two Deadpool movies.

Canceled my subscription yesterday, but played around before and after doing so and it appears that a yearly subscription is no more? For for both basic (with ads) and premium (no ads) the only option was monthly. Did I miss something?

As of 3 weeks ago I had the option for annual for no ads, but not with ads.

Yeah, there was a renewal option to go from $80/year with no ads to $140/year.
I noped out then jumped in on the $3/month D+/Hulu bundle deal. So they went from my $80/year for D+ alone to $36 for the bundle with ads. Guess they figure they'll be making at least $44 worth of ad revenue from me to make up the difference.

There’s something… ironic… about how the largest multimedia conglomerate in the world is going to make a large chunk of its ad revenue from its streaming service on the back of an Australian public television cartoon licensed out of the UK.
