    It amazes me how little executives at these large companies understand about branding.

    You had one of the most recognizable names in entertainment and fucked it up.

    And the shitty streaming platform you build doesn’t help.

      thank you. i figured i couldnt be the only one calling it “HBO” without anything else strapped to it.

      names may change like the tides, but its still HBO.

    In elementary, i had a friend named Torrance who hated the name Torrance. So, for third grade, he used his middle name, James. Didn’t like it. Fourth grade, he went with just Tor. In fifth grade, we just mashed up a bunch of random names and called him DylTorPeteBobJames. This feels the same: HBOGoNowMaxBobJames
