Last week, the two nitwits who were in charge of HBO Max got fired.
HBO Max: Sinking Ship
They are under new leadership now, as they need to be.
This rollout was absolutely one of the worst media rollouts in the history of rollouts. It is worse than the rollout for 'Scientology Presents: Battlefield Earth'. Worse than the rollout for Jeb2016. Worse than the rollout for Google Glass. It is the worst ever. The only reason this piece of #### rollout is not front page news is because of Covid, Trump, Quibi, and all of us becoming racists over the last month.
As a streaming platform, HBO Max is great. They have the best line up of shows; bar none. Their movie selection is amazingly deep. Their resources to compete with Netflix, Disney, and whatever else are very sound. God only knows the reason why these dopes decided to get in a pissing match with Amazon and Roku, thus ensuring that their app is not available on many TVs and streaming devices. I understand that I can use my PS4 or Apple or I could mirror my phone to use this, but most people are not going to go that far in order to watch tv. It does not matter how good the content is. If it is not easy and natural, average consumers will just be happy watching something else. All of the other platforms have decent to good content, so despite the fact HBO is the best, nobody ####### cares.
The two rockheads previously in charge probably thought there was no way to screw this up, I am sure they thought they were going to strongarm their way into the market because they have a ton of great shows and movies. They were acting as if they have live sports, which is the most valuable resource in media. Well, as we see, that didn't work and now if HBO wants on Roku or Amazon, they are going to have to pay double. Also, who knows what the landscape is going to be now as the ground shifts as we speak! The directors of ATT and Warnermedia, who control this clownparade, might not have the appetite to pay that much now that we are entering a worldwide depression, thus erasing HBO Max from existence or maybe getting it folded into something else.
If you can get HBOMax to work, there is much to love.
