  @hbomax why is streaming so glitchy? Just watching a show it freezes up after every commercial, I have to fast forward to get it to play again. Playback isn’t smooth, buffers regularly and other streaming services works fine so it isn’t my internet. Help!

  Having trouble telling the difference between the skits on #SNLUK and the ads on @hbomax

  Shella (@modealltypes) reported 13 minutes ago

  @dearone6 @lushmylife613 @hbomax She says that, but they've been basically broke for a while now as she told her friend that he was "nickeling and diming her." In the end her biggest issue was that everything was built on a lie. She has no problem pitching in, she even said that. But Nate wanted to be the man.

  @hbomax Why Is your app absolute dogshit? The sound drops. The loading problems. Like, get it Together. #Euphoria freezing constantly. #MartySupreme having a million sound drops?!! This is insanity. My set up and wifi are just fine. Fix your ******* ****.

  @JamesGunn @hbomax Oh no, not the immediate marketing pivot. “Only one can wear the ring”… picks up any single issue of green lantern “oh wait I guess that doesn’t make sense at all”.

  @TheMetalPod @hbomax Well he must really hate his father which is a coincidence because the writer Tom King also has daddy issues with James Gunn so I‘m seeing an echo chamber

  @ninakokino98 @hbomax So it’s not a story inconsistency / failure issue if she’s just off whatever day they show next. And if they aren’t inspired to have a big plot with her character, i think it’s probably a good thing that they won’t just have the actress standing around in the background!

  @KordanzP @hbomax No, Im fully aware that Guy Gardner exists in the DCU, the problem is that this slogan insinuates that only one person can wear the ring, even though Guy Gardner exists simultaneously as a GL in the DCU which contradicts that slogan. There should be a ring for each GL member

  @ninakokino98 @hbomax And I get why you want to push back on that (but you really can’t after including KIARA, of all characters) … but at the end of the day I think part of the issue is going to be math.

  @hbomax it sucks that I can only stream the @AEW ppvs on one device at a time. I work nights so it'd be nice to watch from work while my husband watches at home... 😒😒😒

  @dph_stfu @giroditalia @hbomax why do we have these commentators this year? This sucks. I could just get this terrible coverage from FloBikes and cancel my hbo max subscription if we’re not getting the “real” English commentary team

  @Caseybloys @hbomaxhelp @hbomax Im looking for help regarding an account takeover. Case #30616400. I'm clearly being punked through email with hbo help. It's such an obvious, easy fix, that it seems ridiculous that Id have to go through financial institutions and legal channels.

  @legalrealist @liloslovergirl @hbomax you can acknowledge that there is an issue when the majority of the characters being written off are woc, especially when one of the is the main one and her exit doesn't make sense realistically and story driven, it's a poor lack of choice

  @GameOfThrones @hbomax Aegon wants to kill Aemond. Damn your work. That shield/armor of Aemond is bad—like a girl convinced him to wear it. No appearance from Daeron, and he has black hair

  @hbomax I cannot get my AT&T login to work on the app regularly. It works sometimes but other times it says it can’t verify my subscription or I get a care code error 201.
