I gather you watch a lot of movies. Anything else on Max?

Actually not many movies , more for the series and the live feed of CNN, since I do not have paid Live TV.

Also has all the Discovery owned content, Library and next day, Food Network, Animal Planet, etc.

Not everything anymore...WBD has started splitting their content between MAX/Discovery+ and Hulu. For example Gold Rush on MAX now only has seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 13, 14, and 15 (current season) while Hulu now has seasons 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. Plan on them fragmenting their content even more in the future.

They keep selling/licensing their content for pennies on the dollar, because they are desperate for $$$$.

What is the one lesson Netflix has taught us, keep all the content you own under one service, subscribers will come.

Which service has 110 Million subscribers worldwide, which one has 282 Million.

Well the guy running WBD thinks he is the smartest guy on the planet so pretty sure he will be too stubborn to listen to anyone else or learn from their lessons.

I had a no-ad deal (after trying to cancel) for average of $8.50 since last Feb. Would kick back to $17 this month, cancelled without any counter offer this time. So I will wait till there are two or three COMPLETED things I want to see, and just sub for month now and then. Maybey when I cancel the first month/time, they will counter again.
