    Y’all, it’s not a mistake. It’s marketing.

    We’re all talking about HBO. That’s the point.

      During the period of time it was called “max” NOBODY HAD A CLUE WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT.

      “It’s on max” sounds like new slang.

      “I like max” literally the most vague thing you could say.

      Other maxedls: pepsi, panty liner, iPhone, Boeing etc

      Everyone involved in this decision chain should be fired. I can’t even get hbo Max where I live, but even if I could I wouldn’t give them money.

      one thing you’re missing: most people don’t give a shit about hbo… also, there was also cinemax calling themselves max, it was a dumb corporate mistake.
      i feel neither good nor bad about it.
