Essential HBO MAX Thread

[Rekkapryde]

short/medium term losses for long term gain. Like Netflix did for years as they built up their subscriber base

this.

plus:

no revenue sharing with theaters (keep all the bread) which helps since releasing a big budget movie in the pandemic into theaters REALLY isn't profitable.
by being not only the owner of WB, AT&T entices people to switch from their current ISP over to AT&T not only for internet, but Cell Phone as well. Increase the money on ALL FRONTS.

Disney and Netflix aren't ISPs or Cell Phone Service Providers either.

I don't see this as a permanent thing, but short term while theaters are just not feasible right now, is smart.


Comcast/Universal needs to do something now.



Plus cats already with AT&T fiber get HBO Max for free.

Yes I'm sure they were very happy with 8.6 million activations after half a year and getting stomped by Disney+ and Netflix. This power move had nothing at all to do with that

You're discounting the subscriptions they already had. You're juelzing though, who gives a fukk about subscribers.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Yeah, I agree with all this. I think people on here are just looking at the dope library when labeling it 'the best' it's not like a market position thing for them.

They own HBO though. HBO Goat's library is killer by itself.

Nobody giving up their Netflix though. That shyt ain't going NOWHERE.

Hmm . . . you know there's a lot that goes into a streaming service's enjoyability. HBO has a better library than Netflix but are behind in everything else, price, interface, speed all are factors.

Netflix didn't become who they are overnight tho fam.

And Netflix also doesn't have the luxury of being one of the premier telecommunications giant in the world.

Netflix is fine.

The only one juelzing is you. Hbo is fluffing the numbers. The reality is most people who have access haven't even used it. Its a really good service with a strong catalog but you're the only one calling it the goat. Wake me up when it has a killer app original and I don't have to use my dusty chromecast or TV remote for it .

I will be watching all the new movies on it though

Disney/Marvel, your move

I have it free. The shyt ain't GOAT till they fix they muthafukkin' app and come out with Max OGs on the level of their earlier shows. I ain't in this shyt for reruns.

You literally juelzed up reasons why hbo shows don't count.
But it's cool breh.

You can't call it the goat when they don't even have one great original series. Not even sure they have a good one

Is that all?

Yeah, they been fighting letting their movies go on the service. I think the moment the May release date becomes unfeasible due to Covid they will have to stream. But if shyt is closer to normal by then they will not.

I had that on hbogo and currently on the HBO app on Roku. I am up to date with pop culture so old shows don't move my needle(pause).

Yep Netflix will always be a streaming giant imo. But I think they need to somehow still promote their legacy shows and movies more. Like how The Sopranos, The Wire, GOT, etc. can always sell the service no matter how old they get. Netflix tends to let its top programs like Ozark, House of Cards, Narcos, Stranger Things, etc. become lost in the shuffle and forgotten until hopefully a new season drops. To me that's the only thing they need to work on is somehow keeping their top tier offerings still fresh and relevant even as they keep dropping new material constantly.
