Discontinuation Notice: This tracker is no longer being refreshed with new information.

The Disney-owned video on demand service, Hulu, has over 40 million subscribers. Most subscribers use Hulu on numerous devices to watch their favorite content. While Hulu is indeed a prominent name when it comes to subscription video-on-demand services, its subscribers have had or even continue to have their fair share of tough time.

There have been multiple reports of Hulu subscribers facing bugs and issues across different platforms. Also, most if not all these problems were widespread and lasted for far too long. However, Hulu support does a pretty good job of acknowledging virtually all issues and bugs which are reported by subscribers. Moreover, the service provider even tries to resolve all major and minor issues in a timely manner.
