Max is not shorthand for HBO Max.
Not a shorthand,a rebrand(and a stupid one)

By getting rid of HBO content and adding a bunch of trash that each lowered the value I'd be willing to pay vs not existing, and replacing it with an app that looked identical but didn't work.
I canceled my subscription the same day after having it constantly for a couple years.
I believe they changed it to just Max (because heaven forbid they keep the same name for more than 18 months)
