Guess this makes sense. They've removed most of the discovery content from Max and now expecting customers to maintain two subscriptions.

lol. That garbage was why I canceled Max in the first place.

I know a lot of people did, but I was previously a discovery+ sub and happy to migrate from it. My partner got all her trashy reality shows she enjoys, I got HBO and Adult Swim shows for one price. I'll likely lose out on HBO now or just temporarily sub when content I want to watch drops. Sucks for me.
