There is the thread here (that you participated in) about Hulu self-destructing due to dropping app support for "older" devices and a speculated raiding of customers by the impending Disney OTT service. There weren't many dissenters in that thread.Why would anyone arrive at that conclusion ? It’s subscriber base is growing month after month.
Can one series float an entire service?Not to mention, regarding its tentpole original series, Hulu has already announced a new original series based on the as-yet unpublished sequel to The Handmaid's Tale. Magaret Atwood's The Testaments comes out next week, and Margaret Atwood will be on the cover of Time magazine.
Yes , I participated in that thread, and if you will reread it I stated that it wasn’t surprising that some older devices and smart tv platforms reach end of life app support sooner than with more popular platforms. This is hardly a Hulu only issue, if you want to call it a issue.There is the thread here (that you participated in) about Hulu self-destructing due to dropping app support for "older" devices and a speculated raiding of customers by the impending Disney OTT service.

"Fastest growing" can be misleading. The service that goes from one to two subscribers grows at a 100% rate.

This reminds me of the discussions back when AMC was making big waves with The Walking Dead and many insisted that this was a mandate for having AMC as part of everyone's TV package. AMC currently doesn't have any programming among the top 150 cable shows (and they didn't the week of the season 9 finale either).

In case you missed it, here it is again: Its number of subscribers rose 48.0% from 17 million subscribers in 2017 to 25 million in 2018. That much growth in one year is remarkable for any business or service.Hulu adds 3.8 million subscribers in the US

Choosing to report numbers as people start subscribing for the Fall season and back-to-school is a tried and true tactic for showing great numbers. Even the incumbent's numbers are likely to be less down this time of year as viewers are lining up how they are going to obtain their fix of new programming.Well, it looks like we can officially add Philo to the "not long for the world" list. They grew 30% in the past 8 weeks . . . and it's safe to assume that doesn't mean they only went from 7 to 9 subscribers.
If the new shows don't compete well against reruns, don't blame the reruns.What? We’re supposed to count the incessant reruns of reruns too?
