For people who pirate HBO service products, no changes, your lifetime subscription to piracy is still valid.

They did this to whatever hbo plan I was on a while back. It was 4k with atmos, and they switched it to 1080 with standard audio while expecting me to continue paying the same price. Canceled as soon as I received that email.

but didnt you think of the stockholders?

I always think of the stockholders because often I am him.

My frugal lifetime is to pirate the content and used the saved subscription price to purchase additional stock each month.

Play both sides and always come out on top, or something.

Imagine paying money for a streaming service in 2025, and not being able to get higher than 1080p. Insane.

And still being forced to watch ads on most of the plans.

Not only that, but you're often not getting the quality you're paying for due to the limitations of streaming. So, I'm not going to pay $20+ a month for what equates to 720i with garbage audio. Absolutely not.
