HBO Max is a streaming service that offers a lot of content, but it’s getting worse and worse. The first problem is that the selection of content is very limited. Second, the quality of the videos is often poor. Third, there are not enough hours in the day to watch all of the content that’s available on HBO Max. Finally, there are not enough people who use HBO Max to make it worth their while.
Warner’s new management has already made many unpopular decisions, including canceling the nearly-finished Batgirl film that was expected to arrive on HBO Max, and removing many existing shows and movies from the service. Westworld, OK K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes, Summer Camp Island, Minx, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, Raised By Wolves, and others have already been pulled from the platform. Notably, the price for HBO Max is staying the same.
It’s great that some of the affected shows and movies won’t be completely inaccessible (through legal means), Disney Vault-style, but it’s coming at the expense of HBO Max and its paying subscribers.
