-
GAHRO (@GAHRO7) reported@hbomax It's 2026 and Hollywood is still doing the "replace the old, broken, deadbeat white character with the universally superior black one." This **** is so tiresome. Won't watch it.
-
Will Rowley (@1WillRowley) reported@hbomax Europa League Final video is lagging (slow and jumpy). I signed up to watch the @UEFA finals. Succession video is not lagging. Please fix or put CL final on YouTube where it should be.

THE Reeses University Alumni (@JuiceBoxHero8) reported@TonyKhan please work with @hbomax to not have its users have to switch streams when it is a split Dynamite/Collision. Very inconvenient for users of the app. #AEWDynamite #AEWCollision

South Star (@South_Star__) reported@JamesGunn @hbomax This looks so ******* terrible.
-

legalrealist (Bluesky: legalrealist.bsky.social) (@legalrealist) reported@ninakokino98 @hbomax And I get why you want to push back on that (but you really can’t after including KIARA, of all characters) … but at the end of the day I think part of the issue is going to be math.
-
Oh Silly, it’s Lilly (@Lilly_88sc) reported@DiscoveryID @hbomax Great work platforming this YouTuber whose channel was demonetized in November 2025 for making F33rism / ED content. That’s awfully close to the time frame wherein your team thought she would be a good asset to this documentary. Not to mention the very bad skeletons in her closet engaging in s3xual conversations with minors on the internet. Verified original documentation for the above mentioned.

JohnCB500 (@JohnCB500) reported@hbomax @bikesontnt I need help to connect to the stream
-
iced.teaa (@alexoceann) reported@HoganBets14605 @hbomax it’s awful how the match hasn’t finished yet there’s no live feed I can find, and it starts the playback of the match from the beginning? Is this only me?
-
Pdubhtown (@Playa1Zero) reported@hbomax @StuartFails This looks absolutely awful.
-
Zoe Sanderson (@zippyzee) reported@TNTSportsUS The @hbomax steam is terrible. It freezes at every commercial break and the stream is often behind the live action. Better to watch on @hulu !
-
Reese Futch (@music_freak24) reported@hbomaxhelp but isn’t that still an ad? being able to skip isn’t the issue, i shouldn’t have to see an advertisement if im paying for zero advertisements.

PAPA SHANN (@PAPASHANN_) reported@hbomax will yall fix yall glitchy *** app man can’t even watch the game
-
Alan Williams (@apwbowdon) reportedA wonderful money-making idea for @footballontnt and @hbomax ... have a commentators mute button. Crowd atmosphere only. The habitof their pundits and mike-men to talk incessantly is terrible. #STFU !
-
Villains World (@aVillainsWorld) reported@AEW @hbomax Damn I can’t wait to clock out of work and get prepared for the weekend. 🔥🔥

LIEf (@thatsLIEf) reported@BeeGees @hbomax “all 3 of us did things to each other we are all sorry for” Barry always knew acknowledging the issues was 🔑
-
Tim (@TheFloridaTim) reported@hbomaxhelp If you're help center couldn't help than I don't think your social media team can. The only help your help center associates could give me was repeatedly having me uninstall and reinstall your app thinking eventually it would work... news flash, it didn't. Wasted 39.99 +tax

Stringer Bell 🤨 (@TheBFLSpeaks) reportedMy daughter asked to watch a show with me tonight and it's only on Disney+. I got excited because she's usually running around doing her own thing. She's 6, almost 7, so she's finding all kinds of new things to do, but tonight, it was father daughter time! We get settled in, and what do you know, Disney+ is still doing the same thing I've called and complained about. It's beyond frustrating. We've been customers since inception, but tonight I had to pull the trigger and cancel it. When you can't do something as simple as watch a streaming service because you can't "update your household," it's frustrating as hell. Bye, @DisneyPlus. Bye, @hulu. Bye, @hbomax. Fix your service!
