Also half of these apps have the exact same UX, whats going on here?

And they all equally suck. It’s really amazing how they can all be so terrible at the same time.

Got rid of omniverse but gained myth busters

I started a discovery plus account because I wanted to watch Mythbusters and Dirty Jobs again, after all these years. Then immediately after, the merger happened and they came to max (without commercials like on my discovery trial), so I immediately canceled discovery plus.

Very dumb rebrand. I like all the trashy TLC content don't get me wrong, but changing the name was completely unnecessary.

If you like that reality garbage, I won't yuck your yum, but I enjoyed not having to see any of it. I miss being able to forget that shit like Obese Hoarder Wars or Little Person with 13 Kids exists.

I think the renaming is dumb, but the thing that really pisses me off is their cancellation “special offer” that leaves you paying more permanently.

Idk if it’s necessarily related to the name but haven’t they been getting rid of a ton of beloved animated shows?
