Rumor: HBO Max may be folding into Discovery+

[re'up]

Read a Zslav piece in the Wall Street Journal yesterday

seems like he was ahead of the game on the streaming curbing, and others are following his lead

Who would watch the Discovery Channel streaming service

fukk this, but I like HBO Max more than any streaming service I use.

All the more reason I got the Black Pearl to set sail on these bytches. Not playing no more. Only thing I was watching hbo for was Last of Us, John Oliver, and dem thrones

Man, I've been retired from that game for a good hot minute, but this shyt got me ready to reclaim my ticket to the skull and bones like I'm John Wick or something.

Hold the fukk up. They're moving 4K/Dolby Atmos out of the Ad-Free tier, and into the Ultimate Ad-Free. These motherfukkers tried to hide a damn price hike.

This isnt a price hike, merely a shuffling of the price structure

Jump on in. I was out the game for over a decade but saw the writing on the wall when Netflix said pw sharing was over (which is how we have 5 or 6 streaming services nu only paying for 1).
I have a cloud server running plex, basically search o radaar or sonaar for anything I want and it’s ready in 5 minutes or less in 4K if I want it
I had shazam 2 and creed 3 same day it dropped on the paid services as an example.

How many damn tiers are there going to be?

@Peter Popoff please tell @daemonova to get that HBO out of here

Ain't nobody coming to see you discovery

Yup. And had the nerve to say “all for the same price”

i thought the HBO part was the seller...
and that sounds like the Max from Cinemax

Fukk Discovery .... i want AOL back

That was the selling point and household trusted name brand. Now its back to being associated with cable and satellite subscriptions. Crazy when you had HBO's name hot and going neck and neck with the top dogs in Disney and Netflix. I get that the service has Discovery, Max, and Warner Brothers content as well but you should always roll with you're hottest brand as the face of the service imo.

This is f*cking crazy! HBO is without question the name that everyone loves and trusts. Kill your iconic branding 101 brehs

Warner brothers discovery nicca!!!

Wouldn't surprise me if HBO does turn away some

The one streaming service that the women I know, most of them, 25-35 don't have is HBO Max.

it still has the very high brow/elitist type of label

It will still be neck and neck with Disney/Netflix.....it will just be "Max" now.

If you hear HBO Max, you assume "Oh, that's a streaming service to see all HBO content". Not that it has all WB shyt as well. So the name change makes sense.

And keep the adult content available for millenials that want nostalgic titties and porn

I get the need to bundle and consolidate everything these days but I have zero interest in seeing Bobby Flay’s face next to HBO programming Although after today, you’re kinda forced to

So no actual changes other than the abbreviated name ? Who gives a fukk then ? Why is this so many pages?
