I'm starting to see what he's doing now...

Posted by: The Weekend Warrior (a.k.a TheWeekendWarrior) on Aug 09, 13:20 in response to notfabio's post Variety: Zaslav has killed HBO Max's DC's Strange...

he is putting a stop to huge spending on streaming movies/series because there just isn't a way to make that money back sans getting more subscriptions or including ads on the HBO/Discovery eventual streamer. Clearly, he saw what happened to Netflix with The Gray Man and the reaction to ads and everything else and is trying to avoid that with HBO Max Disco. It sucks for the creatives... but sometimes you gotta break a few eggs in order to keep from paying for a really expensive omelette. (Last time I did that, I was barred from my local diner for a year... but hey, I saved so much money.)
