HBO was mostly showing Movies aka 3rd party content. Their original content was largely differentiation so people had a reason to pay for HBO over Stars becase they both had movies but only HBO had the Sopranos.
In that context having a small number of very high quality shows works well. But, exclusive high quality moves are really expensive.
Over the next 45 years AT&T does not want to produce a lot of content, they simply can’t stay competitive without a lot of new content.
