Interesting customer retention move for a service that hasn’t been able to make much new content for the past six months and is about to see its new releases dry up.
Don’t forget the whole point of the rebrand was to sell off the actual HBO content and fill Max with shitty reality TV. It’s the exact same thing only they don’t send you an email about it.
Shit. I saw a few shows that were on HBO Max elsewhere (Netflix?) recently and was like ??? but yeah, that makes sense. When Westworld left, I took it as a one-off but I guess not.
Shrinkflation is a scheme that takes subtlety to pull off. There’s some level of artistry involved in increasing prices in a way that is unnoticed by the customer.
This is so unsubtle it doesn’t even deserve to be called shrinkflation.
My understanding is that it is built into the price of the tier. I wonder if it could be argued that they are in breach of contract since it is included in the agreement when signing up.
When they dumped all of that discovery network garbage on there I knew my days with the service were numbered. When they canceled winning time (the one show they had left worth watching imo) and ended it with the Lakers losing, I knew it was time to leave.
A spoiler? Dude, it’s covering things that actually happened.
They just stopped making it abruptly because HBO are assholes and I wouldn’t recommend wasting the rest of your time unless you like watching unfinished stories that are concluded by blocks of text like a fucking Wikipedia article.
The plot follows actual events very closely.
I suspect if they had known they were getting the axe they wouldn’t have spent nearly the whole season detailing the year they did.
