Reply to comment by cold08 in Inside Warner Bros. Discovery’s Latest Cost-Cutting Spree at HBO Max by johnppd

I get people are pissed, but the shows they are moving off the service are likely shows people aren’t watching.

Imo Casey Bloys is still cooking with HoD, Last of Us, Succession, white lotus, White House plumbers, Idol, Barry, Curb, Love and Death, Perry Mason, and Winning Time.

I do hope some of the Max stuff sticks around. And I get people just being pissed, for example if Warrior gets cancelled I’ll be grabbing my pitchfork with everybody else.

I enjoy a lot of their movies too, but I’ll definitely concede at least 40% of that is dependent on the Fox searchlight deal.

The more niche shows are the ones people become passionate about and stick around for. You found a "hidden gem" so you are more likely to try more shows on the service. Except slowly the pattern continues and those keep disappearing abruptly and then HBO is only worth paying for this month if the big show you care about is airing new episodes.
