Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

HBO objected to HBO Max, so it was rebranded to Max. Now the top HBO execs have left so they’re changing it back.

Ah. I see. Guess I assumed they were part of the same company. Thanks.

They’re different divisions of WBD. HBO is a premium cable channel that focuses on high-end productions, while Max is a general streaming service.
