Mynette Louie ✅First, they shrank our end credits and interrupted them with another show/film. Next, they randomly chopped up our films to stick in ads. Now, they want to ruin them further with news alerts. Our films were not meant to be seen this way!
Veedems@mynette as much as I’ve enjoyed John Oliver, I told my wife I’m ready to drop Max whenever she is.
Bleak Future@mynette @KatM and I won’t watch them this way. Want me to never use your platform? Feed me ads or alerts or promotions - nah.
I’ll buy it before I do that. I am absolutely comfortable paying for an ad free experience provided it gives me value. I won’t suffer ads. I won’t do it. We had TiVo in 1999. I haven’t watched commercials since and I’m not starting now.
It’s hard to overstate how little I care if I see your stuff or not. I still haven’t watched Boardwalk Empire. I haven’t finished The Sopranos. You think I care about some zombie show?

It has become disruptively irritating to watch. Hope they don't start doing that with DVD/Blu Rays.

Eric Stoveken@mynette The mind boggling thing is that I can’t even see how this would be a revenue generator for them. They’d what? Sell commercial style time in their Max business to their CNN business? And all it accomplishes is pissing off subscribers? Is there some bullshit tax advantage being played here?
Franz@mynette "Why doesn't anyone watch linear TV anymore? 😭"
Steve Sebban, CSI@mynette and you can add the auto-skip of opening credits to the list like Disney+/Star does. So infuriating
