The article itself is clickbaity, but actually does bring up the point of how ridiculously fractured these streaming services have made access to TV and film media. Combining a couple to form Max is a step in the right direction.

We went from a small number of sources for everything to an unmanageably large number. I mean really, do they expect a consumer to maintain upwards of twenty subscriptions to get full access to TV and film media. It’s insanity.

At this point I don’t have any at all except for Amazon Prime which I mainly carry for online shopping, but I still use the streaming on occasion. My apt comes with free cable TV so I use that with a DVR for some stuff. Otherwise there’s a lot of stuff I just don’t have legit access to.

It was a bit unclear for me, but does this article say that HBO Max will become merged with Discovery+? I really hope that’s not true. I have HBO because of the relatively high quality, and I would be willing to pay more just to keep the braindead shit from Discovery from polluting the catalog.

I remember asking years ago “how can I watch movies ethically, both supporting FOSS formats, owning my copy of the content, and paying the creators for their work?” I think the answer has gotten even more elusive now than ever.
