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

the MAX name is some bullshyt in itself.

HBO is a premium brand, and MAX makes me think of cinemax, which was nothing more than HBO's low budget sister station only known for softcore porn. why they didn't re-brand into HBO makes no sense to me.

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

it's a stock. I have owned AT&T stock for years, and when they spun off TNT/HBO/WB into warner discovery, I got free shares as well.

that stock hasn't done jack shyt in the couple years I've had it but go down. it's literally a piece of shyt stock.

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.

I agree with all of this, but I think netflix will be around along with apple and amazon since they have the LARGEST subscriber base by far and are still profitable.
