I’m betting they’re either gonna go with M or A, following twatter. Either way, we’ll have another service to mock for having an atrociously bad name.

Y tho? The first rule of brand recognition is ya don’t fuck with the brand name!

Mereo, in Bets on the next one?

For the life of me, I don’t understand why they rebranded themselves. HBO is such a recognized brand. I was confused at first about what Max was.

bitsplease,

Based on my experience working with PR teams and executives - you probably had a bored PR team that wanted to do something that feels important or relavent, and they pitched it to the exec team in a way that made them feel all important and excited (they probably threw in the phrase “lifestyle brand” a few times), so they went with it against all reason

HurlingDurling,

Because they have begun fucking over their customers and don’t want to associate HBO with that

Guajojo,

Ding ding ding, we have a winner

phoneymouse,

Agree. HBO is some high class, quality shit. Max is meaningless. I guess it corresponds with the CEO of Discovery channel coming in to wreck HBO in the same way he did Discovery.

Especially when one of their main competitors was called CineMAX

stevehobbes,

Cinemax has always been owned by HBO. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinemax

4am,

Isn’t Max literally Cinemax’s streaming service, that merged with HBO Now to form HBO Max, and is now back to being just Max?

This is the part that was, for some reason, never communicated to anyone. HBO streaming didn’t rebrand, they were absorbed into Cinemax.

jaybone, (edited )

Didn’t Cinemax originally run a bunch of porn?

Next iteration should be CliMax.

EDIT I think back in the day it was jokingly called skinamax for that reason.

someguy3,

One business analyst figures it’s a new guy trying to establish his mark and/or his midlife crisis.

TropicalDingdong,

MBAs have to justify there existence some how

It’s like Twitter rebranding to X. It’s extremely detrimental to the brand, but it makes some executive feel really good about themselves and that’s all that really matters apparently.

The only X I’ll ever recognise is my man X to the Z, Xzibit.

I just call the dead blue bird a Twatter now.

OhmsLawn,

After working in 24-7 transportation for over a decade, it’s honestly confusing when normal people schedule things for the afternoon. I always have to take a step back and ask myself if they really want to meet up at 0400. It’s just so much better to schedule using a 24-hour clock.

I expect that Elon is going to buy them and just get rid of the useless Ma part of the name.

Pringles,

We don’t need the vulgar discourse of X on the worlds favorite porn site.

LEDZeppelin,

What a genius idea, sir! It will be a utopia for free speech and block anyone who disagrees with us.

saltesc,

Heh.

I just realised all those xLeoglasx and xSephirothx variants I grew up seeing in WoW and FFXI…one was probably old mate xXElonXx.

I bet he was an Alliance Hunter or Elvan Ninja and caused wipes

I’m sorry

“The” alarm? You complete and utter fool!

Pros have like all the alarms, all of them , planned to the minute, accounting for vacations, time zones and holidays (local and international) for years beforehand.

You just have shown the complete ignorance in your daily dwelling by not handling your time piece with the military your settings.

May God have mercy on your soul
