Warner Bros. Discovery is feeling the effects of the Max merge.

HBO Max was renamed Max, and Warner Bros. Discovery lost subscribers::Warner Bros. Discovery lost 1.8 million subscribers in the second quarter of 2023 following HBO Max’s rebrand to Max. The company now has 95.8 million subscribers across all of its services.

I don’t get why they made Max a completely different app. I mean I also don’t get dropping the hbo monicker, but why did I have to get a brand new app instead of them just reskining hbo max
