HBO Max Is Weird.

thanks for watching! did you hear that HBO max is thinking of changing their name to just...Max? what do u think? do u have a favorite show that was canceled? 📺

pengicitis falls in the category of youtubers that i basically never see but the second i do i will instantly click on the video and watch it with love.

Netflix even cancelled Bojack Horseman. Luckily they warned then with enough time to finish the show but they were expecting one more season.

Netflix: I have an idea! Let’s erase the majority of our animation department by cancelling good shows and allowing bad shows to release. How’s that sound? HBO Max: That’s a great idea!

Netflix cancelling The Society on such a cliffhanger will always make my blood boil

Hello. HBO MAX is no longer under the larger AT&T Umbrella. Warner was sold by AT&T to Discovery, and they both merged into one company. Zaslav became the CEO after the merger of the unified company and began cutting costs.

Just wanted to clarify: Netflix removing Arrested Development, including the episode they produced, was not their fault. The contract they made with 20th Television stipulated that eventually the entire series, including new episodes, would revert back to them. This is the case with nearly every series and film produced by outside studios like Disney, Warner Bros, 20th, Universal, etc. Sometimes the contracts are for 5 years, sometimes 15, and sometimes they’re for a few years after the final episode. This is why Netflix has been pushing to develop series in-house recently.

The main reason I resort to piracy isn't that I don't want to pay for the things (tho that's also a small part), it's that I don't even know anymore where I would watch the things I pirate.

"Our research showed that most subsribers don't want to pay $15 a month for HBO Max and get thousands of filler shows they won't ever watch, so that's why we are no longer merging HBO Max and Discovery+... we'll just remove that pointless filler from HBO Max (like all that animated crap, kids don't know the difference between any of the different shows anyways) and we'll add ALL of the Discovery stuff, and we'll still offer Discovery+ seperately because why not"

The rise of indie animation I have the theory that these companies are investing or investors are secretly investing into AI to develop it more quickly than ever before, in mere months ai went from mush to creating rotoscope animations fully rendering characters in 2D, and in the future they will go to all means necessary to make AI generated works be liable for copyrighted material. Once they figure out that they can make infinite content and pay less employees it will be the rise of indie animations, where people will found what they want to watch and we will content from time to time.

I want to clarify that shows like Mao Mao, Infinity train, OK K.O & the other Cartoon Network shows weren't tax write offs. There was a scare with their YouTube videos & Social media post being privated but those videos and post came back. It's believed that they were removed to avoid paying royalties. Some shows were written off though like Final space, Thundercats Roar and Dream Corp LLC.

3:32 I hate that data, They really have to measure a shows success by how much is watched as from when it released. I used to like pacing myself with shows I watched on Netflix (2 episodes or less a day) but now I feel like I did a disservice to shows like Glitch techs and Bee & Puppycat, Super giant robot brothers and more by not binging it.

It’s funny because Barry, a show on HBO max had a plot about a tv show getting cancelled after like one episode because the algorithm said so

I loved "I am not ok with this!" Such a cliffhanger at the end too :/

I've never seen a show that was at its very best at season one. Shows need time to figure out what works and what doesn't.

I hate that they cancelled Dead End. Don't let showrunners make a cliffhanger if you're gonna cancel it.

I'm still salty about Santa Clarita Diet. Really enjoyed that show

The cancellation and removal of Final Space really pissed me off and was a slap in the face to its creator Olan Rogers.

12:20 that's crazy making an entire movie and then deciding at the last second to just not release it

Latest example: Netflix’s 1899 That show was amazing and had a clear trajectory. Cancelled a couple weeks after premiering.
