That's just PR smoke and mirrors. I don't know what that means, since - like I said - my "HBO Now" app on my iPad is now a "HBO Max" app. - Mop May 28, 11:41 2
- If their PR team is presenting it as a positive, they should be fired, into the sun. -- nm - Reagen May 28, 11:44 1
  - I'm aware of HBO Max, I knew it was coming, but had no idea of the launch date and saw no marketing until yesterday, when I saw the ads on YouTube. - Mop May 28, 12:03
*laughs in Quibi* -- nm - Reagen May 28, 11:32 7
- Quibi Me? Did you Quibi? Send me a Quibi? Loop me in the Quibi? -- nm - Quibi CEO May 28, 11:42
- Quibi did 300k, and it's a total failure to date. -- nm - David May 28, 11:34 5
  - That's what I'm sayin'. -- nm - Reagen May 28, 11:35
  - Who knew a mobile only service that you have to pay for that *HAS* ads would be a failure?!?! -- nm* - Shaun May 28, 11:35 3
    - Everyone: "Man, I just binged 8 hours of Tiger King in one session." Quibi: "Ha ha, these kids with their short attention spans! Have 7 minute shows!" -- nm - Reagen May 28, 11:52 2
      - *with* ads!!! And you pay for it!!!! What a great idea! -- nm - Shaun May 28, 11:53 1
        
        when you are sick of 24 minute shows with commercials on regular cable, we give you 7 minute shows also with commercials!! -- nm - Beaker May 28, 11:57
Come for Friends, stay for Big Bang Theory -- nm - Beaker May 28, 11:30
Does that include the people who got auto-upgraded from HBO Now? If so, I'm one, and my acct isn't even active atm. -- nm - Ba'rona Beast May 28, 11:29 8
- I'm still trying to figure out what's included and what's not, but that's a debacle number. Disney+ had 5 million. - David May 28, 11:32 7
  - I guess I hereby admit I don't really understand what HBO Max is. I thought it was just another platform with the same HBO stuff and would not expect - Spawn May 28, 11:48 4
    - From what I understand it has all of the HBO stuff, but it also has a lot of other stuff like Friends, South Park (starting in a month or two) and - sycor May 28, 11:50 3
      - That is why expecting even a fraction of that D+ number was a pipe-dream. Not sure I see the point in paying to watch Friends yet again. -- nm - Spawn May 28, 11:55 2
        
        Since I don't have cable, I'd get HBO Now, but it's way overpriced for what it is. At this point though I think I may be cancelling Hulu soon. - sycor May 28, 12:03
        
        It was the most watched show on Netflix. That company paid $100 million for 2019 alone. HBO Max's launch is a total failure. -- nm - David May 28, 12:00
  - we may have reached streaming services overload -- nm - decline May 28, 11:35
  - I was being facetious and assumed it didn't, but imagine if it did. Oh lawd. - Ba'rona Beast May 28, 11:34
SNYDER CUT!!! - Spawn May 28, 11:27
