BOOM! Max is becoming...HBO Max. Again. No, really. https://www.vulture.com/article/hbo-max-streaming-name-change.html

I've never stopped calling it HBO Max. So, welcome home to me!

That was the stupidest product name change in history in the first place!

It’s funny because I still mostly called it HBO Max anyway. 😂 Just saying Max felt weird.

And who says corporate media leadership is all out of ideas?

I still just call it HBO. Max sounded stupid. Kinda like X. I call that Shitter now.

"'New-ish name.' Ha ha ha isn't funny how incompetent we are at simple brand management?"

I have spent the entire saga just calling it HBO anyway. But I am also old and keep referring to the local grocery store by its former name too.

How the f did we get to the point where someone this dumb can be paid 50 million dollars a year and keep his dumb after this very dumb shit.

I guess the executives that hated the fancy pants HBO name being associated with MAX shows lost, again.

If the change to Max was an effort to get out of paying streaming royalties, does this mean they gave up fighting that?

Will the UX still suck? probably.

I wish I could be paid $35 million dollars a year to make these wide business decisions

Cool. Maybe they can also fix their shitty Roku app

You don’t say?
