Dozens more titles are leaving HBO Max this month, including many of the service’s own original series:
realized they had a massive drop in subscribers, what was the first thing that left the service? Animated shows. In Netflix’s case, the impetus was slightly different, but the same attitude drove the decision. Animation is expensive, and it's really not taken seriously as art. There's still a stigma surrounding animation. There's a misconception that it's somehow only for children... Even though tons of people tune in for new episodes of adult animation every week.
Of course, one could only expect that some content would leave both platforms before they create a hybrid streaming service, but why? A lot of these shows have only ever existed in the streaming age. That means you can’t go out and buy them on DVD, and many haven’t received official digital releases either. That means that tons of HBO Max originals will essentially become lost until HBO decides it’s time to put them out again.
Outside of creators themselves, tons of fans are also grieving the loss of a lot of their favorite shows. People are panicking because they know that they'll likely have no access to HBO Max originals they've fallen in love with. There is always the chance that some of these shows get sold to other streaming services, but it's not particularly likely.
