this is literally the pricing model for cable, gonna force you to pay for bullshyt you don't want and that one thing you do want, we'll convince you you need to pay 4x the other shyt for.

bring back HBO Now and leave me TF alone, the audacity to think i'm paying for anything laden with discovery programming :dry:
Man they had me at the first half, but like I said a few posts back...it was too good to be true. The platform has everything for people ranging from DC heads to cinemaphiles.

Sadly, the Discovery merger was the end of the chapter. Its like the most Chad ass high school jock getting "trapped" by some nasty ass trash THOT :scust:



I’ll be locking in that year for 40% off before the offer expires. these clowns must be planning to charge 29.99

19.99 with commercials :ehh:

@RGM
this was good
slow in parts
but the plot advances enough to be entertaining

Laurence Fishbourne and Lin Shaye were great in this

The fear mongering in here :dead: :mjlol: in the real world hbo just secured more than double the Emmys of the next place streamer...

"canceled a bunch of sh-t" .... actually they renewed every show that people actually watch.... :dahell:
All those shows were started from the previous regime.

You acting like someone getting an A by cheating off someone else who did the work should calm people’s worry.

pilot season starts in a few months so we should see what the cancelled stuff is being replaced with soon.

The longest I had a streaming service was Hulu and I was so used to ads, it was like good ole times with the rabbit ear TV.

I give HBO credit for their ad version. It's not as obnoxious as Peacock, but yeahhhh...watching a classic flick stroking my beak and a fukking loud ass KFC commercial pops up.

fukk :unimpressed:

The canceled stuff wasn't sh-t they were spending money on and they don't want to commit to more money until they save $3B so i doubt you are gonna see a gang of new shows. The point is they renewed everything that was popular and not one person has a legit complaint about programming yet.

That's why i said fear mongering

Hulu forever slept on :wow:

  • Better variety of movies ranging from blockbusters to indie shyt
  • Moderate amount of reality shows (compared to Peacock which is like smut with a sprinkle of soccer)
  • WAY BETTER INTERFACE FOR SPORTS THAN ESPN+:unimpressed:
  • Better old school content
  • More family friendly than most streaming platforms (with the exception of Paramount+)
Sadly, folks get that free trial, watch Handmaids Tale, and cancel that shyt in a instant :mjcry:

Popular?

You think Hacks is getting more views than most of those cartoons they cancelled or some CW Gossip Girl reboot? Emmy awards don’t always equate to popular.

The truth is we don’t know anything about what their metrics are or what success is.

99% of shows on streaming don’t become popular. Echo is getting a spin-off from a low watched Marvel series. Most streamers are producing content across different genres to keep as many eyes on the app and paying the increasing monthly fee.

The strategy WBD is pursuing is one that hasn’t ever worked before (pay more for less content)but hey……maybe…but the worrying isn’t fear mongering.

lol I only got peacock specifically for the Bravo reality shows. Only other good shows they have are the office super fan episodes (better than the original cut), girls5eva, we are lady parts, and now all NBC shows stream exclusively there the day after they show on cable :ehh:

Easily. They renewed the Harley Quinn cartoon because that actually gets views. They don't want a ton of new animated content. Even Lightyear over at Disney flopped this year.. huge flop. That's not gonna be their demo.
