Especially when one of their main competitors was called CineMAX
Isn’t Max literally Cinemax’s streaming service, that merged with HBO Now to form HBO Max, and is now back to being just Max?
This is the part that was, for some reason, never communicated to anyone. HBO streaming didn’t rebrand, they were absorbed into Cinemax.
Cinemax has always been owned by HBO. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinemax
Didn’t Cinemax originally run a bunch of porn?
Next iteration should be CliMax.
EDIT I think back in the day it was jokingly called skinamax for that reason.
