    I've been a fan of this dude since he was Prince Puma, and had been enjoying his work in AEW, but I have seen first-hand how badly MS can affect someone, and have helped raise money for MS charities. @TonyKhan I hope you know I'm turning off @hbomax whenever he's on.

    How to save Paramount and Warner Brothers? Rebrand #DavidEllison Replace @paramountplus and @hbomax with simply HBO which stands for... Home Box Office. HBO Netflix YouTube This should be the big 3. Studios have become silos and force people to take sides. YouTube and Netflix, even Amazon, are not studios, they are brands. The names have become the product. Netflix is used for streaming like Kleenex is used for tissues. HBO could easily be the "generic" rebrand people reach for. Already known for high-quality TV, it's simple and self explanatory without having to ask, what does Paramount own again? What does Warner Brothers own? Plus and Max descriptions are 20th century marketing. Lose them or lose the business. IMHO 😎

    @hbomax you people have got to fix the issue of the awful loop of doom while trying to sign in with Hulu. It’s happened to me more than once and I finally gave up. Nothing should be this difficult

    Hey @hbomax y’all need to fix your app! At the very least, add a restart option to episodic shows. Spoilers and having to hit rewind is just bad UX!

    @andyjd747 @hbomax It’s effectively a downgrade. We had UHD and Ad Skip on our Stream package but now shows we previously could watch are only on HBO Max in awful quality with ads.

    @hbomaxhelp I have tried to explain the issue to multiple customer service people and got nowhere. I missed all the games last night because of this. You're too late, subscription cancelled

    @hbomax This is complete BS. Why can't I just sign in with my provider like I used to be able to. I lost all of my settings because of it. 🤬

    offended by Bateman and the idiots that did @HBO @hbomax DTF St. Louis. What an AWFUL ******* show. So talking slowly and or whatever Bateman does is funny? Every episode this slow delivery of talking like dumbasses is funny. Get this trash off of Max #DTFStLouis #HBOMAx

    @hbomax Can yall fix the glitch with your app? It’ll play an ad and start it at an earlier part of the movie. Then you’ll have to fast forward it just to get to the ad you were originally at and have to watch it again. Been this way for months.

    @addievervale @hbomax maybe a stupid question but are you logged in? it still says sign in/sign up in the corner. some websites are weird and after you sign up it doesn't automatically bring you into your account, you have to sign in separately. it makes no sense 😭 i can see all the eps on my acct!

    @ebennett74 @hbomax Oh that evil Dr. Robby! Why can't he manage everyone's emotionality AND be responsible for the lives of hundreds of patients at the same time? Terrible misogynist!!!

    Whoever made a deal with @hbomax to stream sports should ask for their money back. This glitchy quality is awful! Do better!!!

    @JamesGunn @hbomax You can tell this show will flop…. The delay to trailer taken off to never show anything green until fans asked for it… This was their last straw to pull people in for one last lap. Will it work??? I don’t think so.
