The service includes all current and classic HBO original series

Well, that's a lie.

Three years ago they cut a bunch of HBO originals like Westworld because they didn't want to pay residuals when people streamed them. Fuck HBO.

Apple TV is what HBO used to be.

It's the only Apple thing I use. I want to support the things I like and the people who make those things, but those prices are kind of obscene.

for whatever reason i still have access to hbo max because they think i'm paying through youtube tv but i haven't had youtube tv for like five years so it all works out. i don't really watch anything on it but i've been getting it for free this whole time and i aint bothered.

HBO max runs ICE ads

A bold strategy for a channel with very little “must see” programming these days.

Killed my subscription a while ago. The whole Batgirl tax break thing kind of pushed me over the edge. Every major streaming service has shown itself to be... shit. I've cancelled them all.

Oh no, another increase I will not have to pay or think about after 5 minutes from now

Isn't it strange they're doing this multiple times a year?

Really really strange.

Confusing, even.

Bizarre

Saw that shit and immediately canceled my subscription as a protest.

I love my Jellyfin/qbit pi more and more every day

It's a $1-2 per month increase.

FWIW I cancelled HBO Max a couple years ago once Barry ended because there was nothing new worth watching and they had started to go full tilt into reality TV at the time. Peacemaker was good but it was going to be years until season 2. I didn't really care for House of the Dragon.

Two years later there's still not anything new worth subscribing for. I picked up The Last of Us and Chernobyl on Blu-ray.

Cancelled them after wild goosechasing their content:

• Me: Lets rewatch the last season of West World.
• HBO Max: We offloaded that content to Hulu.
• Me: ?!?!? So you dont stream your own premium quality content? Why and which content-manager had that brain-dead idea? Never mind I will check Hulu.
• Hulu: Sorry mate we dont stream to you country (in the EU) and we will be part of Disney!
• Disney: We are glad to bring Hulu into the fold. Check all this new content!
• Me: OK Disney, give me West World on Hulu.
• Disney: Sorry, not that content, can I interest you in some live action fairytale?
• Me .... I give up.

odd, all the HBO shows I have in my Jellyfin intance are still the same price... hmmm

Y'all are still watching TV?
