HBO Users Confused By Differences Between HBO Max, HBO Go and HBO Now
HBO and WarnerMedia launched HBO Max today and people are super confused at how HBO Go and HBO Now [...]
Basically.
I know one of them is for using your cable provider login, one is for a direct subscription, not sure on the third one.

S/o to Marv
👉🏾 HBO Go - if you have HBO apart of your cable package and want to stream on the go
👉🏾 HBO Now - you don’t have cable but want to stream HBO content
👉🏾 HBO Max - the entire HBO catalog AND WarnerMedia content (fresh prince, DC universe, TNT, TBS, etc) https://t.co/yKr4cUmEbv

Tremendous
I’m still trying to figure out the point of HBO Max.
HBO Now is already a stand-alone monthly subscription service. They should have simply expanded on that.
Now there’s HBO, HBO Go, HBO Now and HBO Max. Feels like I’m in the middle of the Fast and Furious franchise.

Maybe so?
Theory: 99% of the confusion about HBO Max is just the debt coming due on having separate HBO Go/Now apps all these years.

A heavy lift for sure
HBO Max: Not sure which is more confusing. The name similarities to HBO Now and HBO Go, or the acrobatics required to find an app that works on the streaming device of your choice. pic.twitter.com/8R3eqB8orb

Well, when you put it like that...
HBO Max launches in 6 days, but if you have HBO Go, that’s not HBO Max, and if you want HBO Max, it’s actually HBO Now as an app, so you have to google HBO Max, sign up, then download the HBO Now app and sign in that way. pic.twitter.com/azDP21L5J0

Choice humor
An old sailor's rhyme for understanding HBO's streaming properties:
Moon that doth wax? HBO MAX
— ross the man of war (@rossmanofwar) May 27, 2020
Moon all aglow? HBO GO
Moon with a cow? HBO NOW
Silly
It’s always:
“HBO GO”
“HBO NOW”
“HBO MAX”
Never:“HBO HOW WAS YOUR DAY”

Whew...
Wait, what? I was already brand-confused by HBO, HBO GO and HBO NOW, but fine with it because ages ago I wanted a standalone app and I finally got it with HBO NOW. Actually I still want it. One app, all HBO.

I don't even understand what this (HBOMAX) is in the end:#HBO #hbonow pic.twitter.com/O02WvHRkFq
General confusion
Is it just me or is HBO Max confusing as all get out?
Like I have HBO Go. Apparently that means I have HBO Max? I’m so confused.

Upset about it
why does @HBO need hbo max? You already have hbo go. Besides, your "lineup" is perhaps the WORST in the field. I'm about to cancel my subscription. It's a waste of money.
