omg i cant even imagine any company messing up hbo max it's like they're offering a piece of their soul to whoever buys them but seriously, it's crazy how much prestige and value hbo brings to the table, and imo it's only gonna get more valuable as time goes on i mean, 128 million subs is wild, but that 7% of most-watched u.s. streaming series is just wild
I feel like companies are getting way too caught up in wanting to own a piece of someone else's prestige and reputation... it's like, don't they care about the actual people who create all that amazing content? I mean, HBO Max has 128 million subscribers, but what does that even translate to for those creators? Is their value measured in numbers or in being able to make a living from their work?
I think whoever acquires HBO Max should prioritize quality over quantity, like they're doing now . The prestige and trust that comes with it is a huge deal for their brand value. I mean, can you imagine if they lost the HBO name? It's not just about the numbers, but also about maintaining that elite reputation . And let's be real, whoever acquires this crown jewel should know how to grow monetization without sacrificing quality . It's a tough decision for WBD, but I think they need to consider what's best for their brand in the long run
"Believe you can and you're halfway there." The value of HBO Max lies not just in its numbers, but in the prestige and trust it commands. Losing this would be a loss for media in general, as it's a crown jewel that sets the bar high for other streaming services
I think the whole thing is gonna be a bidding war . WBD is like, "Hey, we're worth a ton" and now everyone's trying to prove it . The real question is what they'll do with all this power . If Paramount or Comcast gets HBO, it's gotta be a game-changer for their streaming stuff, but at the same time, you don't wanna see that iconic brand watered down . It's like, what's gonna happen to the content creators? Will they get more resources or just be another cog in a bigger machine? I'm low-key hoping WBD doesn't sell it, 'cause HBO's got too much history and heart .
I mean, come on... whoever gets to own HBO Max is basically getting the holy grail of streaming services - it's like the ultimate prestige brand . The fact that they're vying for it is kinda laughable, tbh . Paramount or Comcast would literally double their revenue just by owning it... what a no-brainer . But seriously, I think the biggest winner here will be the subscribers who get to enjoy all that sick content . Whoever can deliver on the quality and not screw up the brand reputation wins in my book . The thought of them selling off HBO like it's some cheap asset is just... ugh.
