      I mean, just because people are watching it on Tubi doesn’t mean they were going to pay HBO Max subscription fees to watch it there. Tubi is mostly ad supported and targets an entirely different demographic. Zaslav is a douche canoe and a moron, but this isn’t the smoking gun the author seems to think it is.

    Funny enough, I have a discounted subscription to HBO Max because of Looney Tunes. I subscribed to Boomerang for $5.99 a month so the kids could watch LT and other classic cartoons. They shut down Boomerang and rolled those cartoons into HBO Max, and told me I would have access to HBO Max for the same $5.99 a month until further notice. Now Looney Tunes aren’t even on there anymore, and I’m still paying the discounted rate. As long as it stays that price, I’ll stay subscribed. If it goes up even $1, I’m out and will cancel.
