My pet peeve: I have only one profile on play.hbomax.com, but every time I open the page I get the screen that asks "Who Is Watching?" with a single option.

I'm thinking of writing a web browser extension just to click that automatically.

If I was a cynical product owner who was responsible for the multiple accounts feature, I would probably fight to keep that extra click to remind users of the functionality. Otherwise it may affect the metrics.
