Max's paid sharing initiative will launch later this year, with a broader rollout in 2025. Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max will join competitors Netflix and Disney+ in cracking down on password sharing.

Enshittification continues.

No worries Max, our year’s sub is coming up in a month or two and we won’t resub. Planned to cancel anyway with the rate hikes. Congrats on your successful entshittification.

We’ve gone back to buying media (especially used on eBay) and putting it on our own server. Plus our Google TV also provides a boat load of free streams when we want something else or something random from our server.

The more the streaming greed grows, the more every single C-suite executive can fuck right off.
