The Streaming Service Formely Known As Max
At the rate they are going, 404 is the next thing you will see when going to their shit site.
I'm betting they're either gonna go with M or A, following twatter. Either way, we'll have another service to mock for having an atrociously bad name.

They're pulling a Coke and they're going to rebrand as HBO next year and everyone will cheer the brilliant move.

I like the joke, but HBO Go doesn't belong with those other 3. HBO Go was an included streaming companion to a cable subscription. There was no way to get HBO Go without also subscribing to cable. HBO NOW was the first standalone streaming service, then renamed to HBO MAX, then renamed to Max.
If you need something legit to replace HBO go for the joke you could use HBO Nordic, which WAS a standalone streaming service with the HBO content that predates HBO Now. Technically HBO Nordic was only available as a European product, but it was accessible in the USA via VPN.
Meanwhile I'm here in Scandinavia pining for ~~the fjords~~ HBO Nordic
Next will be just "M" to follow Twitter.
Max has never been HBO’s platform.
It's really stupid that they named their streaming platform for one of their competitors. When I was subscribing I'd see Max and wonder when we subscribed for Cinemax.
They own Cinemax. It's a subsidiary, not a competitor.
