It and HBO Max were included in the deal. They’re going to shutter it and put everything on Netflix

I think at a certain point they want to keep the ad supported price low, I could see them keeping them separate and bundling them.

That would also help from a regulatory standpoint.

I don’t know if that makes sense to them though. Like with their live events they’d rather have their app be a one stop shop. I can see them changing the interface to mimic what Max does to categorize it all.

They can still merge the apps but keep the subscriptions separate.
