fez_machine posted:When it carries connotations of being expensive and ad free? Discovery's whole model is serving slop to millions of cheap customers. If it wants the streaming service to efficiently serve slop and have mid episode ad breaks then getting rid of the HBO makes sense. That's what subsidiaries are for.

Hey now, my wife's parents who share our HBO Max are pumped about the amount of trash available to them now.

my conspiracy theory is that there were a bunch of contracts to get royalties from streaming on HBO and they released Max so they could avoid paying them.

I THOUGHT I’d want Hulu to watch the new Futurama, but then I read the episode titles and said “I’ll wait until the Blu-ray comes out.”

Hey, I used to make apps on teams in a very similar role and this was not an "oversight". Some dumbshit exec in some meeting made this decision. The fact that nobody put the brakes on it implies that it was high up, maybe even at the C-Suite level.

https://deadline.com/2023/05/max-credits-controversy-directors-writers-guilds-1235378437/quote:Warner Bros. Discovery has corrected changes it made to director and writer credits in its rollout of Max after receiving harsh blowback from the Directors Guild and the Writers Guild. In a statement today, Max said: “We agree that the talent behind the content on Max deserve their work to be properly recognized. We will correct the credits, which were altered due to an oversight in the technical transition from HBO Max to Max and we apologize for this mistake.” "Mistake"

Things really kick off season 3 onwards as well, so enjoy! Only complaint is that they repeat certain scenes in the “previously on the shield” openers after some events in season 5, which is unnecessary..
