The streaming wars are over and with them the era of cheap but what comes now? https://kotaku.com/hbo-max-password-sharing-price-zaslav-warner-bros-2000624901
 
Yeah, I had a passing interest in Max because of all the animated content. But then they kept removing all of it. The removal of the original Looney Tunes was the straw that broke the camels back as far as I'm concerned

I did have a subscription to Max, but cancelled it once they lost most of the Cartoon Network library.
 
Do ya feel that, lads? The winds of the seven seas… They call for us once again…

(I have no idea what HBO even has on offer but I would still pirate just on principle)
Seven seas, private trackers, or usenet. Though the seven seas is the far more user friendly option...as long as you've got a good VPN and antivirus LOL.
 
It's always about greed. These companies exploit consumers with all shenanigans possible, including lobbying governments to avoid any type of accountability and regulation, they exploit their own lower-ranked employees with miserable wages, that hardly cover living costs, and all these nefarious practices for billionaire shareholders to get more profit and CEOs, Presidents and VPs to get their bonuses. Disgusting.
It's also not only the tech and media industry. All these things are symptoms of a unfettered, cowboy-like, late-capitalism and a sick corporate world.
 
I mean, HBO Max (I refuse to follow it's constant name changing shenanigans) isn't even available where I live due to a multi-year terrestrial TV exclusivity deal on HBO content.

But come on. HBO gutted it's entire animated back catalogue & removed a decent amount of it's previously available live action content so what's the point?
Heck I'm a Snyderbro, know what I did when they dropped the:
"none existent, never ever filmed oh woops we found it 😖 you gotta' subscribe to see it" Justice League cut?
I Pirated the Snyder cut whilst I waited for my Blu-ray to arrive.
And even if HBO was available in my region. I would have done the exact same lmao

Streaming is dead. Too many services. Return to physical media. Get an SSD. Return to torrents.
 
Never had it, never planned to have it. As it turns out, it's really easy to just not watch things, or even know they exist.

Your last sentence is the solution back to the good old evaluation technique.
 
HBO Max like any other streaming service don't deserve anything, especially once they removed a ton of the content I cared for. So you know the drill folks as everyone has stated in this thread, time to go sail the seven seas.
 
Great. So Zaslov not only throws animation and Looney Tunes in the garbage to favor reality because he hates kids/animation, but now thinks of pricing the app because Disney, Paramount, Peacock and Netflix are doing it? God, theses CEO's are being like Batman villains every time I look away.
