Max’s paid sharing initiative will launch later this year, with a broader rollout in 2025. Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max will join competitors Netflix and Disney+ in cracking down on password sharing.

Enshittification continues.

    Well Netflix is gone. Still using Disney plus cause I swapped my HBO max password for it. I guess soon I will have no streaming services on my tv at all seeing as both Disney plus and HBO are cracking down on password sharing. Shame. They had a good thing going before they all got too greedy.

    Back to the high seas. It was nice while it lasted. But Gaben is right. And I havent pirated a game since he got the formula right. Netflix had it. But everyone got too greedy, created their own services splitting the products over multiple services.

    It’s like Alan Wake 2. Sure I wanna play it. But until the Epic exclusive deal is over and it hits Steam, I aint gonna be playing it.

      HBO is the last streaming platform I have, and I will be cutting the cord soon.

      I’ve now switched to having a shitty chromebook hooked up to my TV with an hdmi cable so I can pirate anything I want when I want. I definitely recommend it, no need to deal with ads either on YouTube when not using their shitty TV app!
