Netflix falls asleep and HBO Max competes with its streaming content

In the last months, Netflix reported a huge drop in subscribers and many of those who still maintain their services have complained about their content … instead, HBO Max is gaining ground in the streaming world and positioning itself as its biggest competition within the market.

It is not a surprise Netflix is ​​considered the streaming giantg: is the most used digital platform for watching movies and series from home all over the world. However, its price change and gambling on its content have not satisfied its customers since the beginning of 2022, even though disagreements have actually been recorded for years.

The adjustments of its subscription plans, its high cost, the rule not to share accounts and part of its content, have become a disadvantage for many of its customers who have gradually unsubscribed from its service. Only in July 2022 was it registered Netflix had lost 970,000 subscribersand months ago a sum of over 200,000 victims was reported on its platform.

While Netflix has been losing loyal customers for some time, thanks to the new updates it is bringing to its services, other streaming platforms are taking advantage of the situation and one of the most profitable in this regard is HBO Max.

Waner Bros. ‘HBO and Warner Media digital catalog, HBO Max, has positioned itself as the preferred streaming platform of the moment. Although neither she nor any other style service managed to hit Netflix’s monthly sales numbers; There is evidence on social media that many are leaving the “streaming giant” and joining HBO Max, leaving the kind of content and service they are looking for on the table.

HBO Max competes for content with Netflix

Furthermore HBO Max has much cheaper subscription plans than NetflixWell, you can contract it for $ 99.00 Mexican pesos per month while the cheapest plan of the latter is $ 139.00 Mexican pesos; the content they offer is very different.

The catalog of HBO Max stood out for its content since it was launched to have big hits not just on HBO television channels like ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Euphoria’, or big Warner Bros franchises like ‘Harry Potter’; but to offer original content that has managed to conquer the whole world, as happened with ‘Sucession’ and ‘And Just Like That’.

Not to mention that the company has always been praised for its content, even by critics; a very different situation from Netflix, which is usually highly criticized by many because despite having big hits like ‘Sex Education’, ‘Stranger Things’ or ‘The Squid Game’; has been singled out to make titles that are either very “trendy”, “trendy” or “wake up”. In addition to suffering the claims of subscribers when they lose the rights to a popular production like “Yo Soy Betty, la Fea”.

That’s why it can be assumed that HBO Max is gradually gaining ground on Netflix in the streaming world, even if for now the latter is the one with the largest number of subscribers ever.
