In addition to the recent official announcement about the merger between HBO Max and Discovery+, Warner's platform has just added a shuffle button to help undecided to see something.
The button will be similar to that of Netflix (Play Something), Hulu and Amazon, which immediately plays a random movie or series based on the user's liking algorithms. Although it will be similar, HBO Max promises not to be and ensures that this new feature is one of the most requested.
The shuffle feature is available for 45 series on HBO Max, which means that users have 45 options for meaningless streaming the next time they have trouble finding something to watch.
The list of programs that were selected for the random button are:
- A World of Calm
- Adventure Time
- Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown
- Apple & Onion
- Chappelle Show
- Coraje, el perro cobarde (Courage the Cowardly Dog)
- Craig of the Creek
- Curb Your Enthusiasm
- Ed, Ed and Eddy
- IS
- Flight of the Conchords
- The Prince of Rap (Fresh Prince)
- Amigos (Friends)
- Full House
- Great Pottery Throwdown
- Hot Ones
- How It Really Happened
- Impractical Jokers
- Key and Peele
- Looney Tunes
- Martin
- Mike & Molly
- Regular Show
- Reno 911!
- Rick & Morty
- Pollo Robot (Robot Chicken)
- Scooby-Do, Where Are You!
- Selena + Chef
- Plaza Sésamo (Sesame Street)
- South Park
- Teen Titans Go!
- El increíble mundo de Gumball (The Amazing World of Gumball)
- The Big Bang Theory
- The Boondocks
- The Mentalist
- The Middle
- La niñera (The Nanny)
- The Office
- The Shot: Uninterrupted
- Tom and Jerry
- Total Dramarama
- Two and a Half Men
- Escandalosos (We Bare Bears)
- Whose Line is it Anyway
- Young Sheldon
Unlike Netflix or other platforms that can start playing a series or movie, HBO Max opted for series in which the continuity of the story doesn't matter much and that, as the button points out, can be viewed randomly and can still be enjoyed for their comedy and simplicity.
In this way, it is not so much governed by the algorithms of tastes, which in some cases cannot hit it, but rather by random chapters of successful, dynamic and short-lived series that can be enjoyed at any time.
In addition to the merger with Discovery +, HBO Max has been expanding its catalog through live sports broadcasting, as they are looking for the platform to offer all kinds of entertainment.
Regarding the union of both brands, there is not yet a date for the additions but they are expected to occur throughout 2022 and maximum by 2023.
It is also not known whether the cost of the subscription will increase when the merger with more content occurs, although it is most likely so.
HBO ended 2021 with 73.8 million subscribers to its streaming service and its eponymous cable network, up from 69.4 million in September. This advance, along with the addition of nearly 900,000 paid monthly telephone subscribers.
