    I’m kinda over paying for it. I really only got it for Jon Oliver and it’s basically free on YouTube so idk. Also on my computer I click on my Max bookmark and it’s like “hey we’re not HBO max anymore! Now it’s just Max! Redirecting you now…”

    What? Am I going crazy? What is even the point of that.

      Rebranding is a way of indicating that they’ve done something (hopefully worth paying more for) without really doing anything at all. Great way for a new executive to make a non-decision.

        They did do something though, dropped a lot of content and added in shitty reality shows. I didn’t renew a few months ago when the price went up and the quality of content went down.
