David Zaslav is a c*nt

[Black Mamba]

Thats all really. Ruining tv like the piece of shyt dog shyt son of a whore he is. I hope he catches a heart attack Or gets a fridge from the top of a building to fall on him

The Max interface is dog shyt. Best service around and it looks like it was designed by a high school intern. If I gotta pay premium money for the fukking service it shouldn't be this hard to navigate.

And for the love of God, I'm sick of Guy fieri

Honestly David Zazlav's general shyttiness needs to be studied:

• Ruined the Discovery brand, turning it from essentially "PBS on cable" to a cheap, trashy E!/Bravo clone;
• Tried to turn CNN into Fox News lite, resulting in the network, already the lowest-rated of the big three cable news channels, hitting record low ratings;
• Shelved already completed films like Batgirl and Coyote vs. ACME, turned down big offers from Netflix and Amazon to buy them, then threatened to delete them entirely;
• Made a quarter of a billion dollars in 2022-2023 after the WBD deal while the writers and actors were struggling to pay rent;
• Is in the process of losing NBA on TNT rights because he pissed off Adam Silver

There needs to be a book on this dude if there isn't already

With AIDS at the same time

Funny the OG HBOGO layout was better than the MAX shyt.

He’s what a career CEO looks like. All that matters is short term stock performance

Show ended on a good note with no cliffhanger, I was expecting unfinished business when I read the headline while binging. Apparently the show creators and MAX decided to mutually end it.

But it’s still fukk Zaslav.

And he can't even get that right, stock has been in the toilet for a good while

• made everyone watch a sex scene in Fleabag and not look at each other so he could probably rub out his erection in peace

Never heard one person irl talk about this show

 

[Scottie Drippin]

Definitely not another horrible person who can count Oprah as one of their best friends

All he's doing is reducing as many costs he can while preparing a nice debt package so he can make a killing selling Max to Apple or Amazon. It's obvious what he's doing. He doesn't care about art, he doesn't care about quality, he doesn't care about prestige shows...all he wants is to mix as much of his slop (reality tv trash) alongside HBO shyt. To me, HBO has always had the best shows out of all the streaming options. They also have the best history (Sopranos, The Wire, etc). It's jarring as fukk seeing all those shows alongside Discovery's shows on the app.

I really think the end goal is just gonna be Apple and Amazon. They have legit products/business services that can offset the cost of streaming, whereas Max/Netflix/Paramount/etc are drowning in debt without anything tangible to sell. Maybe Google joins the party at some point.
