  Think about this level of waste the next time a company does a round of layoffs of people doing actual work.

  I thought it was odd branding after Cinemax. HBO was synonymous with great television and mini-series. Skinemax had a different association.

    It was pre AI craze. Probably million dollar marketing consultants.

      Every time I see shit like this I always wonder why they didn’t just hire a polling company to check sentiment. There’s no fucking way removing HBO from the name would have been the better choice.

      I mean, fuck it, have consultant fees contingent on the results of a public polling campaign run by an organization specializing in that showing their recommendation being the better choice.

      I’m so tired of seeing shit ideas that you just know a someone was paid hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars to consult on and any random person on the street can see it being a bad idea.

  Looks the same but actually the B is silent now.

  Hey, maybe Elon Musk should have focused on cutting waste in the HBO corporation.
