The 2020s: A bunch of people finally powerful enough to name things the cool 90s names they dreamt of way back then. Next up JNCO jeans are the mandated corporate uniform.
Google is now called “The Googlinator.”
It is difficult to mess up a brand like HBO. Maybe they managed it.
The amount of garbage presented to you on their homepage makes me just immediately want to close the app. After browsing for 30 seconds, I always wish I did immediately close it. I paid for a discounted annual subscription last October, I won't be renewing.
lmao
Wait, I was looking at Max last night and it appeared that the Discovery content was available in Max. That seems like a fairly obvious explanation
That’s my thought exactly. I paid for discovery before, them immediately canceled when everything I watched there became available on Max, which I get free from my cell service provider.
What?!.. You mean Dr.pimple popper and Ghost Hunters are not being received well on Max?! I'm flabbergasted....
Not surprised.
I've had to help more than three relatives over the phone try to fix issues because of this.
A few were arguing with me that they already had the "Max" app installed and didn't understand that the HBO MAX app isn't the MAX app.
This was the stupidest fucking renaming ever since that Netflix one a decade ago.

No, the Twitter to X renaming is the stupidest fucking renaming ever. Like, in all of human history. Only way they could have topped that would be to rename it to something actively offensive like "Shit Hitler".
