I had a survey from them where I answered that dropping HBO from their branding was the second stupidest fucking decision they’ve made since Zaslav became CEO. Second only to removing legacy content and canning complete movies for tax purposes. That was maybe a month and change ago.

Inb4 it turns just to HBO and then a nameless entity. It has no name. It just exists. Like death.

The original change dropping HBO was one of the stupidest branding changes I’ve ever seen (and there’s a lot of competition). To be honest, they’d be better off dropping the Max part instead.

It never stopped being HBO Max to me.

/it’s OK to deadname non-human entities

Don’t forget… people got paid huge amounts to make these decisions 🙄

subscribed to Max

found zero Max Verstappen race wins

cancelled

Ah, I almost forgot it was officially called Max, they kept the brand ‘HBO Max’ here. During the rebrand they found out we already had a public broadcaster called ‘Omroep MAX’, which is often shortened to just MAX in the names of their programs. Trying to claim that name would probably have not gone well for HBO.

HBO Sometimes Max

Your detransition is very valid nyah

Probably because “Max” sounds more like streaming service for cinemax than HBO. Just bad branding and arguably opens them up to copyright suit.

Are they also renaming their plans? Can’t wait to sign up to HBO Max Max

somehow

I mean, it’s pretty straightforward…

Why the fuck do they keep changing the name? What happened to HBO Go?
