I always felt it needed a different network that would be more willing to take more risks, like HBO

HBO, now under control of cost-cutting Discovery+ executives, may not be taking risks for much longer.

Twitter is abuzz with insiders stating that the CEO doesn't like the cost or margins of "appointment viewing" and would prefer Discovery+'s more inexpensive, reality-based "comfort viewing".

It sounds like HBO is going to start sucking.
