So You're Done With Hulu? Here's How to Cut the Cord (Without Actually Cutting a Cord)
Let's face it, even the deepest binge-watching well runs dry eventually. You've seen every episode of "Whatchamacallit" and documentaries about competitive snail racing are losing their luster. But before you find yourself inexplicably signed up for a knitting class (because apparently, Hulu has a dark underbelly of crafting content), here's how to mercifully cancel your Hulu subscription.
The Great Escape: Cancelling Hulu on Desktop/Laptop
- Channel Your Inner Accountant: Head over to the Account section of Hulu's website. It's usually tucked away near your profile picture in the top right corner.
- Operation: Find The Hidden Button: Navigate through the magical land of account settings until you find the cryptic section titled "Your Subscription".
- Click with Conviction: Behold! The holy grail - a button that simply says "Cancel". Don't be fooled by Hulu's attempt to distract you with talk of pausing your subscription. Hit that Cancel button with the unwavering determination of a reality TV contestant facing elimination.
- Farewell, Farewell and Don't Come Back (Unless There's a New Season of That Show You Like): You might get a guilt trip disguised as an offer to pause instead. But resist the siren song of "What if I want to rewatch Schitt's Creek next week?". Click "Continue to Cancel" with the steely resolve of a superhero facing their arch nemesis.
- Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow (Especially When It Saves You Money): One last attempt to lure you back might involve special deals or discounts. But if you're truly ready to move on, click "Cancel Subscription" and bask in the glory of your newfound financial freedom.
