A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's like they are trying to irritate people into canceling their accounts.

Imo, this one might actually be worse than the account sharing and cause people to quit. As soon as you have people messing around with their subscription version, it's all too easy to just say "nah, I actually don't want this anymore".

HBO Max is going the way of Netflix anyways after Discovery bought them out. Why a failed reality TV network thinks they know how to do TV better than a 30+ year old household name for quality, I'll never know.

Yep. I guess it's a good thing I just don't watch much television anyway these days. There's more to life than vegetating on a couch watching a television screen. I'd rather be tending to the garden, burning calories in the gym, socializing with friends, running my small business, etc - guess I'm just not the target customer in general for streaming platforms haha.
