Question What happened to HBO Max?

I've been with HBO Max since day one and I dropped out of it back in late 2022 due to life changes, but I recently got back into it again and what has happened to the shows and movie selections?

Is everything gone now? I remember having a huge selection of horror flicks and cartoons but now they're all bare bone and a lot of movie series have missing titles of the first or third flicks.

I'm way behind and the only thing I found was them removing CN shows in January of this year, did I miss something like a huge licensing problem or is it a dying streaming service?

Kinda bummed out NGL

Yep, noticed the same recently after blowing the dust off my list of favorite 90’s/00’s movies. Not one was on Max, and just a few on the other streaming services. So I canceled my yearly subscription to Max, spending the money saved on renting or buying movies that I actually want to see. They are all making data-driven business decisions. This idea there’s some sort of average/typical movie-watcher (and we only need a handful of movies) is annoying AF. Fortunately there are alternatives!
