    This is wild to me. How many people actually have both subscriptions? You're just forcing people who still have HBO to pay more for shows they're not interested in (and likely less of the shows they are interested in, considering how many got dropped from HBO Max).

    Glad we cancelled our subscription after they dropped a bunch of shows we liked. Not even a drop in their bucket (or molecule of water), but still.

      How many people actually have both subscriptions?

      Not many. They have 24 million worldwide. In comparison HBOMAX has 48.6 million subscribers in the U.S alone.

      Discovery basically only has low-brow reality TV as opposed to HBOMAX which has a lot of prestige TV. So I can’t imagine there’s a large Venn diagram of folks that have both.
