Best joke I ever heard on the matter was during Conan's Hot Ones ep:

"I have a show! It's on Max! They used to call it HBO, but they found that was too popular!!"

They're not even trying to hide what they did in that press release.

I guess you can only laugh at yourself when no amount of corporate spin will work.

We need to give them more money because they are smart and make smart decisions and then those smart decisions will trickle down to us!

it's honestly hilarious how much the press release gasses themselves up when the summary is they did a dumb thing and now they're changing it back

It is also a testament to WBDs willingness to keep boldly iterating its strategy and approach leaning heavily on consumer data and insights to best position itself for success.

Yes, so bold. Re-adding your company's name to your company's product after people were already calling it that.

Maybe they will have HBO Max TV and HBO Max Movies, with a discount for subscribing to both services, and the two-for-one package can just be called Max.

I want to make WB/Discovery an offer. For half of Zaslav's salary I will be an absolute chucklefuck with zero direction. You'll get the exact same results you are getting now but with more cost savings.

Zas from upfronts The powerful growth we have seen in our global streaming service is built around the quality of our programming, Zaslav said in a statement. Today, we are bringing back HBO, the brand that represents the highest quality in media, to further accelerate that growth in the years ahead.

WBD asking everyone to please ignore the past two years of failure. Zas had to signal to buyers growth twice. He must have an hourly stock price ticker on him at all times. Showtime used to be a strong competitor but it has fallen off. HBO should be worried about Apple overtaking them with branding.
