Wasn't there a rumor about them selling their animations to Prime Video?

That would be cool. I am actually surprised by how much i’m enjoying amazon prime

[trynabme]

What are you watching on there?

I just watched Riches which was entertaining enough but I only heard about it because of a comment or post on here. I feel like they dont promote shit

[kick_chop_slam]

The prime interface is demonic, yes. I’ve never had a service so actively trying for me NOT to find what i’m looking for.

But i’ve really enjoyed wheel of time and rings of power (unpopular opinion i think?). If you don’t mind subtitles, Tokyo Girl spoke to me on a different level.

Riches is still on my to watch list. It reminded me of Empire meets Revenge

The Expanse.

I'm not in the mood to give Bezos my coin so this would not be an option for me

The original article that talked about stuff like Westworld leaving Max said it was because they were going to put them on a service where you didn't have to subscribe to watch and it would just run ads on the content, yep. I'm just not sure which one this stuff is going to, or if maybe that wasn't right. But it wouldn't surprise me if they took them off to sell them to someone else, everything they're doing is to make $$$.

This is what they are doing. Zaslav is preparing for the streaming merger of hbo max and discovery+ in a few months and will also launch a separate “FAST” ad based streaming service. I guess they see this as another way to make up for their massive debts.

Seems dumb to me though as the main draw to HBOmax is the huge library of titles. I’m tired of having to switch over to whatever streaming service I have just to check to see if they have it.

Wild im going to be able to watch my 90 day fiancé and sopranos on the same service though lmao.

I get the feeling from everything I've read that the new service is going to be mostly discovery+ stuff which is mostly reality stuff, I wonder if they're gonna stick everything but maybe a handful of older HBO stalwarts onto that FAST service when it's all said and done. I honestly might not even hate it - I don't subscribe to HBOMax but I can tolerate downloading one more app if it's free and I just have to put up with ads.
