It's pretty ironic how companies will spend so much money on advertising to gain brand recognition, but then throw it away on a whim.

Bad Faith podcast had an episode on the strike a couple weeks back. The guests (strikers) talked about how Zaslav renaming HBO to Max is right inline with their intent to churn out "good enough" content to increase profits rather than increase quality. They likened it to a signal to Wall Street to improve their share value.
