basically doesn't work anymore.
Password sharing rules1%
Once they tried to crack down on account sharing, they just ruined the platform. I’m constantly locked out of my account even at home. Customer support is never any help

Price increases4%
Typical corporation upping the prices and making it impossible to cancel your subscription. HBO should be sued for this. Been trying to unsubscribe for weeks now
