I still remember the good old days when streaming platforms offer discounts from time to time… discounts! It seems incredible, right? We haven’t seen one for at least a year. On the contrary, Disney +, Netflix, Prime Video – they all raised the stakes, even several times.
And the thing is, unfortunately, the offers will be replaced by cheaper ad-supported plans. Either you pay full price, or if you want to pay less, put up with the ads.
hbo max broke that trend yesterday by launching over 40% discount promotion in the USA. Will this proposal reach Spain?
According to HobbyConsolas.com, anyone who signs up for the annual plan by October 30th will pay $104.99 for the ad-free tier and $69.99 for the ad-supported tier, a 30% savings over current rates of $149 $.99 and $99.99 respectively. . Savings increase to 42% when compared to monthly rates.
Why did HBO Max hold such a significant discount? Warner teamed up with Discovery. Two giants of the entertainment industry who, among other things, This will greatly affect HBO Max. Dismissals of employees, including top managers, have already begun.
It is reported by HBO Max. reduction in the number of series and other productions, mostly international. He also started removing original series and movies and even confirmed that The Harry Potter films will no longer be available on HBO Max In the end of August. Something completely incomprehensible, since the rights belong to Warner, the owner of HBO Max.
But these days, users are just billing accounts with no rights, depending on what subscription services decide. Our only right is to pay to see what they think we can see.
Warner acknowledged that Discovery’s tech base is much better than HBO Max’stherefore, after the merger, the company will begin to use Discovery technology, integrating HBO Max into it.
And while all these changes are taking place, we users can only watch, restless. Will the promotion with a discount reach Spain? What is the next content they will cut? Is it better to renew now, if after the merger with Discovery they increase the commission, or should I wait?
