minus-squarePhoturis@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up27·5 days agoY’all, it’s not a mistake. It’s marketing. We’re all talking about HBO. That’s the point.
minus-squarePsaldorn@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·5 days agoDuring 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.
