  • to keep boldly iterating its strategy and approach

    From Adam H. Kerman@21:1/5 to All on Wed May 14 18:01:02 2025
    I will attempt to translate from flakspeak to Emglish.

    The parent company merged streaming services HBO Max and Discovery+ into
    Max. Everybody who didn't work for the conglomerate thought debranding
    "HBO" from the streaming application was stupid.

    It's now been de-debranded. It will now be HBO Max.

    Returning the HBO brand into HBO Max will further drive the
    service forward and amplify the uniqueness that subscribers can
    expect from the offering. It is also a testament to WBD's
    willingness to keep boldly iterating its strategy and approach
    - leaning heavily on consumer data and insights - to best
    position itself for success.

    If you are allergic to our product or are experiencing moderate to
    severe bold iterations, please see your librarian for a book
    recommendation.

    So much flak-speak, I think it's inducing hammer-toe and lycanthropy in me.

    Afaics, prioritizing "success" is a hallmark of demagoguery (and network
    TV). I think that last sentence may have been AI-generated...

    Probably some new moron in management who has come up with a "godd

    of money and provce how useLESS and uneccessary they are. Like the
    preivous moron in managament who changed the name in the first place
    and obviously no longer works there. :-\
