Shows like John Oliver could go 20+ years easily. If he’s happy and making the exact show he wants to make, I don’t see why he wouldn’t keep going. Bill Maher is on season/year 21. And it really can’t be that expensive compared to their other tent poles.

Unless John Oliver is next to get the can, HBO has always been a safe spot for true free speech, and he really pushes the envelope. But they may not have room in their schedule for two shows like his.

For what it’s worth, they do have an Android TV app.

How has HBO been consistently $15 a month for decades it seems, and now suddenly this model requires everyone to hike their prices to hell and back? I think I would be willing to believe that $15/mo is the magic number, except that everyone is rocketing past that now. Now it’s just garbage corporations turning a quick buck for executives and shareholders, as subscribers we aren’t getting any more for our money - there’s no feature release or massive influx of content. What a shit system we have.

“The poor guy” pulled out a gun and shot a stranger on the street. Why is everybody defending him? Do people so vehemently hate prank YouTubers that they would rather just see them executed at this point? This thread is wild.

So then you support… shooting mildly annoying people? Just openly and randomly?

My read is more like: “we urge you to ignore the behavior of Cook because while he’s an annoying twat, he still didn’t deserve to get shot to death in a public space.”
