Any consolidation like this seems like a negative for consumers. But at least it wasn’t bought by Larry Ellison, as was considered very likely (assuming this merger gets approved, in the current administration you never know).

From a Hacker News perspective, I wonder what this means for engineers working on HBO Max. Netflix says they’re keeping the company separate but surely you’d be looking to move them to Netflix backend infrastructure at the very least.

Surely the move now would be to rename the app to Netlfix Max

To keep it more in line with other brands:

- Netflix Max: basic subscription with ads, no 4K

- Netflix Max Ultra: basic subscription with ads, but with 4K

- Netflix Pro Max: standard subscription without ads, no 4K

- Netflix Pro Max Ultra: standard subscription without ads, with 4K

You can add a Mobile VIP package for one extra viewer outside your house, but only for Pro plans.

There's still the one layer that comes with Dolby Atmos and access to the WB back catalogue
