For the life of me, I don’t understand why they rebranded themselves. HBO is such a recognized brand. I was confused at first about what Max was.
Because they have begun fucking over their customers and don’t want to associate HBO with that
It’s like Twitter rebranding to X. It’s extremely detrimental to the brand, but it makes some executive feel really good about themselves and that’s all that really matters apparently.
Especially when one of their main competitors was called CineMAX
Isn’t Max literally Cinemax’s streaming service, that merged with HBO Now to form HBO Max, and is now back to being just Max?
This is the part that was, for some reason, never communicated to anyone. HBO streaming didn’t rebrand, they were absorbed into Cinemax.
HBO X
followed by hbo one x
I didn’t see HBO Now or Go.
It went HBO -> HBO Nordic -> HBO Max
Isn’t it just a legalese game? Hey we’re HBO and we agree to this and that and this show and that arrangement and with this guy and that production.
A year later … OK now we’re HBO Go … all agreements with HBO? Gone and changed, we’re HBO Go now and these are our new terms, new productions, new people, new pricing, we make all the rules, f you
A year later … Ok sorry about all the changes with HBO Go, … we’re now HBO Max … the old name was shit you were right … but we’re making changes again and this time they’re great … for us … again … and not you …
A year later … yeah HBO Max sucked … but we’re changed to HBO Super Duper Time and we’re changing rules and formats and pricing again because we can because we changed our name
Max+ by hbo
Oh, stop, you’re going to make me HBO MAX PLUS ULTRA PREMIUM PRO WITH TITANIUM ™
HBO Next
HBO Online
AKA:
HBOO
Maxi, like IMAX but opposite.
Not pad?
That’s for the next rebrand
It’s really stupid that they named their streaming platform for one of their competitors. When I was subscribing I’d see Max and wonder when we subscribed for Cinemax.
They own Cinemax. It’s a subsidiary, not a competitor.
HBO MBERGUY
Along with a radical change in leadership and content.
Next musk will buy it and rename it x

hboob
