Unlike Netflix or other platforms that can start playing a series or movie, HBO Max opted for series in which continuity does not matter much of the story and that, as the button points out, can be seen randomly and can still be enjoyed for its comedy and simplicity.
In this way, it is not governed so much by the algorithms of tastes, which in some cases cannot hit it, but in random episodes of short-lived, dynamic, hit series that can be enjoyed at any time.
In addition to the merger with Discovery +, HBO Max has been expanding its catalog through the broadcast of live sportsbecause they want the platform to offer all kinds of entertainment.
Regarding the union of both brands, there is still no date for the additions, but they are expected to occur throughout 2022 and a maximum of 2023.
It is also not known if the cost of the subscription will increase when the merger with more content occurs, although it most likely will.
HBO ended the year 2021 with 73.8 million subscribers to its streaming service and its homonymous cable network, compared to 69.4 million in September. This advance, along with the addition of almost 900,000 monthly paying telephone subscribers.
