Again they are keeping a Discovery app and removing an HBO Max app.

I don’t know how you can’t see there being a discrepancy.

This isn’t about the combined app except that it will be the only place to get HBO whereas Discovery has two options and apparently there will be more on the Discovery app.

So not only will I be paying more, I won’t even get all the content that I don’t want for the higher price.

If the new service costs 20 bucks it’s effectively the same price as the current separate services. Since they already admitted that Discovery+ folks don’t even want HBO content enough to switch, then why make HBO subscribers take on content they don’t want for a higher price point?

Is that a better value to you?
