Lmao

have a proven, well known name brand

lets drop it for some nondescript word like MAX

our media company is floundering

I know what will fix it

change our primary streaming app from HBO Max to Max to HBO Max again

Warner is saved

I'm a marketing genius

bill the company for millions of dollars and a golden parachute in contract

just in case they try to fire me

Cause hbo is tied to shitty safe edgy tv shows and not necessarily trashy reality or cooking shows

Yes. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

I assume it's a different company and wasn't allowed to use the HBO title, no retard would change it from HBO (known all over the world) to MAX

jfc they keep changing the name of this shit every couple months

nevermind that Cinemax has been a separate well known premium channel for years.

This nigga might legitimately be a terrorist at this point

Still a no go for me [Spoiler] do you get it a no Go for me haha [/Spoiler]

this is the incompetency of streaming in a nutshell

Also, we're not bringing back Raised by Wolves!

H-BOM-AXX

HBrOS, we're SO BACK

it's hilarious but for some reason I can't laugh
it's so stupid it's also sad

Will Zaslav sell DC to Netflix or Amazon? And will he ruin HBO?

Also, reminder

Warner Bros is 60 billion dollars in debt
Majority of films are box office bombs. Fantastic Beasts and DCEU failed. Joker 2 failed. AFAIK only Barbie, Minecraft and Sinners are the only recent movies that earned money recently.
DC, Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts failed as franchises, but reboots are imminent.
CW sold for zero dollars

Zaslav salary in 2022 was 39.3 million. In 2021 it was 246 million?

Because HBO MAX used to put the HBO brand on quality content like this.

Remember when all you stupid fucks were praising Zaslav?

no?

No one else can hear the voices in your head.

The dumb shit corporate fucks do to put down

'Led massive corporate marketing campaign to reinvent brand'

on their resume... Refusal to do this kind of shit is why I'll be stuck in middle management forever.

Already busy rewriting history

People associate HBO with adult television shows that have a lot of violence and sex. They wanted their streaming service to be an "everything" streaming service, with both adult and family friendly content, so they changed the name and kept HBO as a brand within the app.

It's what these shills always do
archive.4plebs.org/tv/search/text/Zaslav based/order/asc/

eople associate HBO with adult television

No. They associated it with premier television that regularly produced highly acclaimed shows that didn't need to worry about selling ad space or fcc censors.

We were praising him because we knew he would either kill or save Warner, and either of those outcomes would be a good thing.

The streaming network was so bad HBO was worried it was tarnishing their TV network.

somehow HBO returned

Does this mean the people who renamed it just MAX in the first place got fired because of this?

A brand new idea: splitting Warner Bros. Discovery into Warner Bros. and Discovery

meanwhile the guy who approves such stupid ideas gets his millions anyway

I don't get it. Wasn't it always called that?

He killed the black batwoman series. He is still cool in my book. I also dont watch anything warner does besides Nathan Fielder stuff

4d chess

tfw living in the era of media consolidation

a lot of those posts are either ironic shitposting or making fun of him

Lmao no, he sold CW for zero dollars.

Fucking Warner regularly receives gold at the retardation olympics. It's almost amazing how fucking stupid they are.
What are the chances they will finally fucking die?

Came here to say this.

just fucking roll out a showtime, max, starz, and hbo package already

why do companies try this? they have decades of brand recognition and then decide one day they need to rebrand because some retard thinks a name change will somehow cause them double their profits or something and then they're shocked and confused when consumers just flatly refuse to acknowledge it.

People associate HBO with adult television shows that have a lot of violence and sex

This hasn't been the case for like 15 years. Zoomers don't even know what cable tv or ppv is.

HBO is too raunchy for our family oriented customers

fortunately we have the preconception-free brand of Cinemax to draw the name from

I hope it's low, I work for WBD and need this job

new-ish name

HAH!

How about you do humanity a favour and firebomb your offices?

ignore core audience by trying to court a new, nonexistant one

retard moment

Hopefully they sell DC. That brand has been held hostage by WB for way too long.

Remember when all you stupid fucks were praising Zaslav?

Zaslav is such a fucking pussy. If I were him I'd just fire everyone and upload their entire catalogue to YouTube. Boom. No overhead. 7 figure of ad revenue every month ezpz you don't have to split with anyone, and best of all no need to produce any more slop or do with "artists" anymore. He should just take his ball and go home, fuck the creatives.

The CW had never posted a profit and linear television is in a death spiral. There was no value to that "asset."

App kind of samesies but don't be alarm, fellow dogs! Is ok!

Why do they write like this now? It reminds me of the Windows BSOD changing from useful memory dump info to ":( ur computer has a sad"

sure, but my main point is that it's not Zaslav who cancelled Batwoman.

Because they've put women in charge of everything despite not creating anything.

Remember this whenever someone argues about why CEO's make so much money.

Already cancelled my subscription. Never coming back.

Lol

I like Zaslav because I want American entertainment to collapse, and he's helping to facilitate that.
Fuck American media.

No I'm pretty sure I thought he was a retard or outright malicious even back then.

preconception-free brand of Cinemax

kek. Why is it called skinemax? Eh, probably nothing.

The reason for the name change is that they will be spinning off the Discovery brand and removing all the shitty reality shows.

Yes, any retard off the street could have told them that dropping the HBO branding was a fucking retarded move.
Just calling your service Max was even more retarded.
It turns out that getting to CSuite level at a major corpo doesn't mean you're smart, just that you're a sociopath.

":( ur computer has a sad"

I want to beat the shit out of my computer every time I see that.

I never understood why they would want to junk up their brand with Discovery garbage.

I'm still happy he strangled batgirl movie

so they called it "max", just like my buddy, max hardcore
cause that's family friendly

I'm sure if they rebrand it a few more times the company will be saved!

I can't wait for windows 15.

:( You have given your computer's AI the ick. The following code is a valid prescription for one Xanax: MS2030-2882

This. Everyone already called it HBO Max.

middle management

How do you cope anon. I just got into middle management and a lot of it fucking sucks but I need the money and job security.

it's simply customers confused whether it's a hard or a soft 'c'

but i assure you it's a soft one

Retards though that Max would devalue the HBO name, but now that they're in trouble they're bringing it back because its the only good thing left in the company.

So which is better, HBO or Max?
HBO gave us Rome, GoT, Sopranos, Big Love,The Wire, Deadwood, Six Feet Under etc

I actually thought Max was a better name to prevent the HBO brand from being watered down by all the shitty Max original content

Remember this whenever someone argues about why CEO's make so much money.

They make so much money because they're the boss, dumbass.

I thought it was a joke but it's real. God, tehse people are retarded.

@grok can you confirm?

You will never be Cinemax. Stop it.

I've been seeing a lot of these "@grok" posts the past couple of days. Is this some kind of "le ebin ironic mayme", or are the shill bots that post here now being trained on Twitter posts and don't realize that there is no grok here?

We won bros

it's something you say when the faggot retard OP posts yet another twitter thread

You should probably stop coming here. It's doing bad things to your brain.

But that HBO golden era was 20 years ago. HBO just makes trash now, and gets endlessly shilled here.
