    Guys I’m starting to think the dipshit billionaire owners at Discovery know absolutely sweet fuck-all about managing entertainment and news companies.

    RIP. I remember playing flash games there and voting for which shows we want to be aired more back in the day.

      Customer engagement? Brand building? What’s that??? You’ll take the cheap crappy reality programming we give you and like it!

    That’s really disappointing. Not just because there’s a lot of video content that’s now lost, but there were also games and other things for kids to do on that site.

    I feel like I just watched a playground get bulldozed.

    What’s extra shitty is Max doesn’t even have a great selection of Cartoon Network stuff anymore.

    Isn’t it still a cable TV product? Does that not justify some brand presence?

    It’s funny that the second-tier random broadcast Channel 83.5s that run old episodes of Law & Order 24/7 have a website and advertise “stream the channel online!” and a higher profile product can’t.

    Do we not have federal organizations specifically for how Warner is destroying the competitor it bought?

    This is all one specific asshole burning through a significant portion of the industry. By all appearances - because he feels like it.
