I just canceled their service today.

Removing 4k streaming from my subscription is the last straw for me. Fuck you, Max, for fucking over tons of content creators before this. Fuck discovery and fuck your garbage reality TV content trash. Fuck your terrible new app layout. Just generally fuck this era of streaming services.

I'm so pissed because HBO Max was a pretty great service for a time.

Just generally fuck this era of streaming services.

The high seas, on the other hand, are pretty fantastic these days.

I receive their service for free but the email notifying me it would be dropped from 4k to 1080p was ridiculous.

HBO Max was the last service I still had before I fully committed to the high seas, for similar reasons. Removing Westworld before many people were even finished with the newest season was the final straw. There's nothing on any streaming service that I haven't been able to get in the same quality through *arr apps onto my Plex, including usually HDR and 5.1 now that I have rules set up to upgrade to those when available.

You finally have a chance to see the light, pay 5$/month for mullvad VPN and download all the shows you want from the seven seas.
