    So glad I cancelled HBO once WarnerDiscoveryParamountSoon killed it and ended it’s decades long mission of bold, imaginative programming.

    Max can keep their proven IP derivative cash grabs like this and Dragon House, and the avalanche of “Reality” show garbage that David Zaslav crowed about being so cheap to produce, like that was a feature. The shareholders don’t even care what the industry they own is suppposed to produce, only the best economic tricks they can pull to bump the stock price by cannibalizing it, tear it all down for the late stage capitalism fire sale.

      As soon as they rebranded from HBO to Max and made me reinstall an identical looking (ignoring the increase in extra suggestions I had to wade through to get to what I was watching), but completely broken, app I cancelled.

      The fact that every single show they added was negative value to me (yes, not existing with my subscription is better than existing) was an afterthought.
