I cancelled when they changed from HBO Max to just Max, and started killing all of my favorite shows.

They went from one of the only subscriptions I kept to being the fastest I ever unsubscribed.

& canning existing movies and animated shows for tax write-offs.

Heinous.

It sounds melodramatic, but I'll never forgive them. Pure anti-art.

I didn’t care much for the logo change as it’s not really a big deal. What got me to cancel was them adding ANOTHER tier for 4K and then said “no we didn’t have any fee hikes” yet they removed it from the existing plan.
