I honestly didn't know Max was HBO. I didn't know how Max came out of nowhere with such a portfolio

Oh heeey Kassandra

Trick question! They’re the same people.

That’s insane

Any stock tips?

Coming soon HBO Max Max.

....cool. Now give us back our cartoon network catalog back and treat animation with respect

You're a witch!

I dunno. What happened to the bright guys that gave us “New Coke”?

This is just another tax write off redoing your letterhead once again. SMH

They should make it purple again 😭

The second dumbest rebrand after rebranding twitter as X.

so uh, what’s some good lottery numbers? gonna use em in a year

I'm pretty sure that wishy washy shit Was Trump's decision...

That's impressive

It will always just be HBO to me. When they tried to rebrand of “max” my brain kept thinking Cinemax.

They probably had a bunch of leftovers in the back.

Can you predict lotto numbers for me next

And HBO MAX's fanboys will try to defend CEOs

Seth for the W

Cue the anger from the people who think choosing names as part of a transition is woke. 🙁

i have the hardest time finding MAX in my roku directory. HBO is what my mind still looks for.

'max' is as not- distinctive as 'x' is, but can't help I keep on thinking of our Dutch term HBO for bachelors degree schools 🤣

just putting this here (politely) for anyone who catches this part of thread

Ooh, a rightgasm for you!

got my click , blacklist trumps oligarchs' .... blacklist amazon ::)

🤣This was the first thing I thought of!

My favorite meme.

Good call, good call. Now tell me who is gonna win the NBA finals this year.

If it were me I might print out that tweet and hand out copies to all my friends and maybe some strangers too.

What's the opposite of a "fell for it again award"? Because this man needs one

Right? I feel like the most money I would need to irrevocably wreck this company is $520,000.

Trick question. They're the same execs.

😝🤪how many millions do these buffoons make? Can the company get a refund? This product is defective...

Here is one internet point!

In a year they’ll rebrand to “H”

Same guy cleaning up on both ends, somehow still with a job

How does it feel to have the gift of prophecy

Same exec, who is an incompetent boob. streamingsmarter.com/max-being-re...

I'm pretty sure there's a bet going on over who can cause the greatest destruction of brand value. Even with this, Zazlov still has a way to go to matching renaming Twitter.

Nice

Sounds like someone else we know: solving a problem they created.

Why the fuck should anyone get a bonus for a name change? God, capitalism is so fucking stupid.

Amazing!

How about they just go back to HBO?

Wow, the Trump formula starts to creep into industry. "Let's make a change!" "You are all geniuses!" "We are reversing our earlier decision regarding the change." "OMG, 4D chess!!!!"

whomever made this change to begin with was not the smartest in the room.

* execs

Well done.

“but it’s not broken” “FIX IT ANYWAY”

X > New Coke > max

*whispers* it’s the same people

Wow

Infinite bonus exploit

It's New Coke all over again! 🤣

Time to withdraw my lawsuit 😂

But they want AI to replace all the writers! These fuckers are the only job that could actually be replaced by a computer.

Trick question. They will get equally ginormous bonuses.

The final answer is "Trick question! The same dumbass will do both and give himself record breaking bonuses for both decisions."

Blessed be the truth tellers! The streets will flow with the blood of the nonbelievers!

When I play roulette I don’t bet on Red or Black. My chips always go right to Seth

That’s impressive.

Literally spent the last year asking my husband which app on the tv was HBO again?

Now let us Chicagoans hope that the Sears Tower and Marshall Field's follow suit

unreal

Capitalism is definitely not out of ideas

Turns out it was a trick question, it was the same guys both times.

just like sethstradamus predicted

🙄

The point is no longer about the a, the point is now the O

Ma(ke)G(uillotines)G(reat)Again

How about HBO/Maxx.

That's very prescient...except basically everyone recognized the change was idiotic. Except Zaslav.

The main character in my gritty elevated pulp fiction killer thriller--an author/screenwriter with a tragic past--is laughing his head off. In the book, he CASTIGATES HBO for their idiotic name change.

I’d call it a prophecy, but we all knew this was going to happen.

BURN THE WITCH

ok

It’s all “pay us or you’ll get nothing; pay us or you’ll get MORE nothing than the nothing you are getting.”

Joke's on you, I guess? It's the same executive in both cases?

I SAID THIS FROM DAY ONE-Y ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH WOULD YOU MESS AROUND W AN ICONIC NAME LIKE HOME BOX OFFICE? THAT WAS THE 1ST CABLE ADD ON MY FAMILY HAD BACK IN THE 70’S. I KNEW NO OTHER 4EVER. & WHAT KIND OF SYCOPHANTS STOOD IN A ROOM AND JUST NODDED ALONG W DUMB ASS GUY’S IDEAL! NO WOMAN DID THAT!

Okay, then. Can I get a prediction for the winning lottery numbers 1 year from today?

I unsubscribed a week ago.

I like max better

Incredible lol

Joke's on you, they are the same execs

They mad for this one, Rick.

I swear watching the Discovery execs f--k up WarnerMedia was just preparing me for watching what the Trumpies are doing to the rest of America.

I want to say "max" is a person's name, not a brand.

Isn’t this a branding faux pau lol

Does that mean Edsels are coming back? Or New Coke?

The guy that was responsible for this was paid 250 million dollars a year

Max was such a stupid branding decision.

Nailed it dude.

Trick question... it's the same execs!

So uncanny that Professor X himself would agree to a rebrand.

Built

damn so what's the lottery numbers family

😂😂😂

Joke's on you. It's the same guys.

Really proud of you.

I’m changing my name back to “Datsun.”

Moronic dipshits.

So ridiculous.

It was so obviously a bad idea to change from a well known logical name to an overly general name. While HBO stands for what it is, MAX clearly doesn't. It is surprising that it got through so many layers of approval. Smart to correct the error.

Gotta love companies changing their names to something un-googlable

I think the people who made it into max probably got bigger bonuses than the people who changed it back

lmao. I love it!
