Netflix Catching Heat From Hulu Users Over Recent Content Additions

Major Acquisitions
The conversation started with a tweet about Bad Girls Club, but it soon turned to other catalog changes as well. Many people listed the reason they left one platform or joined another.
Price
On top of content selection, users noted that Netflix is much more expensive than Hulu — though to be fair, Netflix does not have an ad-supported option.
Bad Example
Some defended Netflix by mocking the example of Bad Girls Club, saying that Netflix still had more critically acclaimed content. Others said that that wasn't always the point, since some just want to stream a simple comfort watch from time to time.
Accounts
A few users could only speculate about when they'd choose to subscribe or cancel certain social media platforms, since they are actually sharing log-in information with friends or family.
Time Table
Many had Netflix original series they still wanted to watch, but they complained that the platform took too long between seasons. Some even said they had suspended their subscriptions, and they would renew them when their favorite show returned.
Spread the News
The thread also became a place for users to share recommendations and titles they didn't know they had access to.
Decline
Finally, many fans still marked the beginning of the "streaming wars" as the launch of Disney+. Since then, other apps such as Apple TV+, HBO Max and Peacock have stepped up to claim some users, in addition to the long-lived Hulu.
