Warner Bros. Discovery lost 1.8 million subscribers in the three months following the launch of Max. The losses weren’t exclusive to the Max streaming service, though. In its earnings report on Thursday, the company reported having 95.8 million global subscribers across all of its services — down from 97.6 million at the end of the first quarter of this year.

A more accurate headline would have been "HBO Max rebrand to Max forced users to download new standalone app after removing content and increasing prices, users refused".

Personally I'm going to watch Lovecraft Country, finish Last of Us, maybe check out White House Plumbers and wrap up Righteous Gemstones, then unsubscribe until a show I like has a new season. It's too expensive now.
