Is HBO Max Worth it?
HBO has always been the top name in premium television. But a lot has changed in the last 20 years. Now it is consumed as a subscription streaming service more than it is as a cable add-on. Now people have the opportunity to pick and choose streaming services, subscribe for a month or two at a time, cancel, and be more selective.

In this video, we take a look at HBO Max's offerings, compare its service to competitors, and decide whether the average consumer should pay $14.99 per month to get the HBO Max content library without ads.

$15? Hell no, but $15 is a lot to some but not a lot to others...especially those in higher income brackets.

In regards to the HBO + Discovery merger, quantity doesn't equal quality. Netflix cemented that fact with their catalog. I prefer less content but of higher quality. Take for instance AppleTV. I am about as anti-Apple as they come but despite their very tiny catalog, they had some very good content. Plus, AppleTV's content is easily consumable and not overwhelming if you know how to plan out free trials like the one going on now with Target stores :^) In fact, I had AppleTV since its initial launch and I never paid Apple for a single subscription month because I keep rotating their free trials with different emails lol. You just have to be creative with free trials for all of the streaming providers and plan things accordingly to lighten the burden on the wallet.

They've ditched WB content like Harry Potter 1-8, which my wife and kids love. I get it for free through my broadband deal with AT&T, but it's no longer worth it if I were paying based on all the titles they've ditched for the merger. Netflix sucks too (for me), but my wife loves the reality content 🤮 Ultimately, the streaming services we use daily are Disney+ and Hulu, which are nicely bundled together. Honestly, with the constant rate hikes, I have more and more friends praying content and telling me I'm a suckered for paying. The higher streaming services get, and the more content fluctuates, I think more and more that those friends might be right. 🤔
