This would be the second consecutive year of such a hike for the streaming giant. Additionally, Hulu subscriptions are reportedly getting more expensive, though the ad-supported Disney Plus and Hulu bundle will remain at $12.99 per month. Subscribers may be notified of the changes as early as today, September 23. The trend of streaming services raising subscription prices has become somewhat of an annual event for consumers.",
