CNN Max is likely to evolve over time. Among the features the company will try out are ways of alerting Max viewers to breaking news while they are watching something else on the service, whether it be an HBO series, a Turner Classic Movies selection or an old episode of Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.”
The enshittification of our world continues unabated.
I mean, not immediately, but once you’ve got your collection, you’re pretty much set. You can watch whatever you want, whenever, wherever.
The only streaming service I have these days is Max and that’s only because it’s part of my cellphone plan and I’m grandfathered into that plan as well.
What you don’t get to do, which you could do back when TV was just TV and you happened to catch it on, or you could do when it is added to a streaming service, is discover something you didn’t know existed.
That’s fair. I’ve discovered some neat old films on Max by just browsing around.
