Hulu Brain Trust is designed to provide users with a platform where they can share their experience about the platform, and Hulu Brain Trust can use it to improve their user experience on the online streaming platform Hulu.

The website states:

“Our website is designed to give you a platform to share your experiences and opinions. The information you share with us helps us understand our audience and make better decisions about our company.”

Hulu is an American subscription streaming media platform that is owned by the Walt Disney Company. It started on October 29, 2007 as a joint venture between New Corporation, NBC Universal, and Providence Equity, which was later taken over by The Walt Disney Company.

Since their inception, they have been evolving with new tie-ups and additions to the venture. In 2010, they began with what initially was called Hulu Plus, which featured full seasons of programs from the companies and other partners, which gave un-delayed access to new episodes.

Later in 2017, the company launched Hulu with Live TV, which is an over-the-top live TV service featuring broadcast programming channels.
