Everybody knows HBO. Even if you’ve never watched The Sopranos or cringe too hard to enjoy Curb Your Enthusiasm, the HBO static reminds you of some show you love. Over the past few years, HBO’s streaming service HBO Max has built up a lot of goodwill among consumers. It’s definitely one of my favorite streaming services because of the wide variety of content on it. Unlike most streamers, HBO Max has tons of movies made before 1970, which is sadly rare for streamers like Hulu and Netflix. Overall, it seems like the streaming service that’s most worth subscribing to, at least for now.
On May 23, 2023, HBO Max changed its name to «Max.» Nobody knows why they made such a clearly poor business decision. Why would you nix the word that means something to consumers and keep the nonsense word? Twitter users are asking this exact question in a distinctly humorous way, and we love them for it.
