A lot of people have been really critical of HBO's rebranding as "Max", but I have to hand it to them about one thing: nothing makes you more excited about the renaming of a service than being automatically logged out of all your devices and having to spend over half an hour of your one and only life bouncing around broken phone apps, websites, and TV apps trying to reset your password to get in again

@AbandonedAmerica having to re-login to all devices sucks, but imagine this: they had HBO Nordic for a while here where I live, but then they changed to HBO Max or whatever and not only did you have to login to all devices, you also lost your entire watch history and user profiles.

That was especially fun since I was in a middle of a series that I didn’t have time to watch for a while before the change and I’ve still not resumed it because it’s too much of a hassle to search where I left it.

@taxet yep, that is definitely establishing a pattern of how not to do things
