The only inconvenience this is causing me is pricing out additional storage for my NAS. I know I may not be the majority here, and I may not be the target audience these tactics are focused on, but for me, these companies aren’t getting my money this way. Microcenter is.
Microcenter for everything but drives, use server part deals for user drives
“max users planing on switching to piracy” is a better headline.
Wtf is maxipad even making that I would care to allocate bandwidth to?
They make a lot of high quality shows in my opinion, and have made a lot of great ones in the past. Max is a better service than Netflix in my opinion.
HBO make shows that feel closer to the “human condition” than most other companies.
Max has the following great shows: Game of Thrones House of the Dragon The Sopranos Oz What We Do In The Shadows The Wire Silicon Valley Rick and Morty True Detective Season 1 Rome +++
Edit: Remembered Last of Us which was great
What we do in the shadows isn’t an HBO property. Most of the other shows you listed were made years ago.
HBO has always had a pretty nice spread. It’s not the newest it’s not the hottest, But there’s usually something on there that I want to watch, coming from the let’s just log in and see what there is to watch scenario. I hopped onto Max when they brought all the old cartoons over, I started ripping and stripping for all I was worth because a lot of that stuff was not readily available at the time.
Then they had their big shutdown and they lost a lot of that content and I walked away right then.
You’re still good for streaming reruns of decent rewatchable movies though I’d say more so than Netflix.
Game of thrones hahahahahahaha at this point I’ll just wait for George to finish
I don’t know the name of the practice. But I already do the buy for just 1 month thing when they’ve got something I really wanna watch.
Right now I’m waiting for Bleach to finish so I can get a month of Hulu so I can watch that and the new Futurama.
They don’t deserve a concurrent monthly payment. And I’m happy as hell to deny one to them.
Yeah but they now got you working OT managing your subs… I am not willing to do that.
