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?

I find the new "max" content bad. It's not at the same level as the HBO series. My family just doesn't bother with it.

Agreed. The only way the service holds up is the remnants of HBOMax. The new content seems like a desperate attempt to mimic the Netflix strategy of churning out a lot of low-production-cost content.
