subbed a long time ago on a cable deal. play a few movies to death on rotation. no thanks. i could rent what i wanted to see for less
How long until it goes back to just being HBO?
it will be HBO MAX +, or hbo max pro+ next.
“HBO Go Max Now +” as it’s final shriek into the void before finally just returning to “HBO” 🤣
I don’t think anybody referred to it as Max anyway. Such a generic lame name.
Example of products that could be named Max:
- power tools
- protein supplements
- engine oil
- gas chambers

I was wondering why the HBO Dwight Schrute meme was making the rounds again. I swear this is the corporate equivalent of changing your pronouns every month.
I didn't know they renamed it
I'll never remember this new one
What bad PR did they do to cause a need for another stupid name change? Lol Max didn't have that HBO in it so people stopped thinking it was premium? I coulda fucking told you that.
I hate that their SEOs are good enough to get away with plain old max as a search term. It makes me irrationally angry when big corpos make these stupid decisions and get away with it, but only regret it when it immediately hurts their bottom line.
No way it's good SEO, it's 100% the search engines hard coding responses into their systems or something like that
The instantaneous speed and level of raw aggression some search terms have scream of meddling
Not meddling. Paid promotion. Google sells advantage. Has for years and years.
I'm all for letting people self-identify, but cmon and make up your mind already
What a ride
This is bullshit.
I demand HBO Maxine.
Somehow HBO Max returned
To be fair, the name "X" was already taken and Max Diddy doesn't roll off the tongue.
somehow
I mean, it's pretty straightforward...
HBO go max or go home now.
HBO Maxxi would be so much better.
Soon to be hbo super max premium plus
