Maybe (HBO) Max Just Isn’t Worth It::Warner Bros. Discovery's latest earnings call reveals Max shed 700,000 subscribers in the past three months, even as it made money. That might work for Wall Street, but what about viewers?

You realize I didn't build my PC because I stopped watching streaming I built my PC because I wanted to build a new one and get back into gaming. You realize this computer will last years before I need any sort of upgrade? Lmao I swear some people are just so insufferable with their "insights". I stopped paying for streaming because it's expensive and there was nothing to watch, now that the writers strike is over I don't care because I spend my time gaming instead which I actually enjoy more.

It's an insight because many people can't drop thousands on top of the line gear. Yes streaming is expensive, but if a family has disposable income, odds are they're going to go for the lower hanging fruit and just get the streaming package, because the alternative is saving for X months/years for parts that are going to be useful, yes, but also completely wipe out savings.
