Nah, go ahead and cancel it

I'm just upset that I'll lose out on the 4k Dolby Vision and atmos at the cheaper rate....when they launched max they said we had minimum 6 months of locked in features at old rates.


Technically I still would have 2 months of that feature but I know they won't honor it since they'd prefer to upsell me for $20 a month

My legacy promo deal for $104 expires 9/25. I canceled, so they wouldn't auto renew me at the new price of $149. Just plan to go month to month now. When Doom Patrol comes back in October I will reup.

Yeah I don't fukk with monthly payments at all. I like to hit that annual and get a discount.

But you're right the way these services are now I would just sub for a month then cancel

Last thing I want to do on MAX is watch CNN.

This is another misguided Zszslav scheme.

Makes sense, the 3 biggest shows they have. Besides HOD which already had scripts written.

Perhaps the finest example of this school of thought can be seen at Warner Bros. Discovery, where David Zaslav ascended to the throne of chief executive by overseeing the Discovery Channel’s transition from nature documentaries to reality swill. The “content”-ization of that conglomerate’s holdings is the only reasonable explanation for the decision to rename HBO Max as simply Max — removing the prestigious legacy media brand that most clearheaded, marginally intelligent people would presume to be an asset. It lost 1.8 million subscribers in the process, but that’s merely the battle; it won the war, because when you visit Max now, the front-page carousel is a combination of scripted series, HBO documentaries, true crime and reality competition shows. It’s all on equal footing; it’s all content. But “Casablanca,” “Succession” and “Dr. Pimple Popper” are not the same thing — and the programmers of a service that pretends otherwise are abdicating their responsibility as curators.
