They already own the majority of Hulu. I wouldn't necessarily say this is doubling down, it's basically ridding them of issues in dealing with Comcast in order to make changes/integrations etc. with Hulu that they may not be able to do otherwise.
The alternatives would be to sell their majority stake in Hulu, or continue living with Comcast as a thorn in their side.
Disney apparently wants to keep Hulu because it gives them a safer space to distribute content that they don't want directly associated with the Disney brand. Consider what just happened with the Warner/Discovery merger and how HBO Max became Max, because they didn't want the HBO brand to be directly associated with all the Discovery content being put on that streaming platform.
Also what else are they going to do other than further increase their moves on streaming? Go back to cable TV? Maybe blurays only?
that's what happened? that rebrand made literally no sense to me until now.

It's been decades but I remember Discovery being a good place for watching nature and Science documentaries..... not flippers, pawn shops and pimple popping. Sadness.

As much as I love Mythbusters, it was sort of the beginning of the end for Discovery. The reality format proved inexpensive to make and popular with viewers. It wasn't long before they started...

Isn't Disney already losing a ton of money on Disney Plus? What makes them think that doubling down on streaming is a good idea?

Yeah, modern Discovery content existing in the same place makes me less likely to want to subscribe to Max.
