The quality of the entire thing went down sharply too.

The menu configuration is nearing Amazon Prime levels of stupidity when they used to have one of the easiest to navigate.

Right, the title implies it has something to do with the name change, which is silly. The reason Max has fewer subscribers than HBO did is that HBO was objectively better than Max is.

I also saw a lot of posts from people that just had issues even getting logged in or with opening the app itself. Honestly it's embarrassing for such a large company to look so incompetent.
