all the Discovery shyt has cheapened Max to such a degree i spend almost no time browsing it. that's a dumb complaint b/c more content is more content, but they put all the Discovery shyt up front.

HBO used to be the picture of prestige, now you go on there and it's like "Suggest you watch Game of Thrones, the Wire, My Cat's a$$hole Parasite is Ruining My Life, Dumpster Wars, Aquaman, My Serial Killer Uncle, Chinatown, I Was a 900 Pound Nazi, etc."

It's actually not a dumb complaint. They are fukking up the brand. It's as if Casio bought Rolex and then decided to sell both brands together in a cluttered store at your local mall

That just sounds so jumbled up and a mess...No streamlining at all...

I find myself watching Netflix more since the new app dropped. Atleast Netflix does some curation to help you navigate through all the bullshyt ass content.

Legit think this had to do with Winning Time getting cancelled. That shyt was up front day 1X then never again. I forgot about it

Nah, I think Winning Time's issue was the strike.


Shows like this really rely on the star power/actors doing the promo runs. With the strikes none of that was possible.

Rasslin’ fans gon have to dig through Dr. Puzzy Pimple Popper and that Sister Wives shyt to get to past episodes of AEW Dynamite pretty soon

John C Reilly is probably the biggest star on that show.

If the fate of your show depends on a John C Reilly promo run, you're f-ed

That show was doomed almost from the beginning, strike or not. If you can't get people to tune into a show about the LA Lakers set in the cocaine 80s, then you probably shouldn't be making that show.

It reminds me of that other show they had like 10 years ago executive produced by Scorsese that basically got cancelled immediately.

Some shyt hits, some shyt doesn't.

This shyt didn't.

Only good thing about this is being able to watch old episodes of Mythbusters without needing a Discovery+ subscription.

There used to be a Twitch channel running old episodes, but it got taken down.
