The same ppl questioning the drop of HBO in the branding were crying when AT&T launched the service as HBO Max. They said AT&T will ruin the HBO brand.

Now the HBO execs itself want to distance themselves from General Entertainment. HBO is a niche service. To survive in the streaming race, they need 4 quadrant programming that's why Discovery content will be added to the new service, Max.

As long as the content is good, most ppl wouldn't mind the name of the service.

In India, Max may be offered as a "Prime Video Channel". In the US, it is only available on Prime Video as a "channel". Other channel providers like Apple TV and YouTube Primetime do not have it.
