After HBO contents remove from @DisneyPlusHS by 31st Match, what remains in this platform? May be some crickets.

— Subir Chatterjee ⚔️ (@subirsay) March 9, 2023

@DisneyPlusHS removing @HBO is already bad but lately they’ve also been facing issues with streaming live, loading content faster among many other UX issues. All this while, they haven’t face much backlash but mostly praise. Can see a downfall coming if they don’t fix it soon.

Looks like Disney+Hotstar's The Last of us is literally the Last of us as far as HBO goes

I don’t think HBO leaving Disney+ Hotstar is actually going to result in an exodus of users. If the service was nothing without a dozen HBO shows, Disney would have made a deal. HBO itself didn’t launch a standalone streaming service, citing costs, which says something.#Hostar

Just bought the Disney+ Hotstar subscription a few months ago for INR 1500. Since then, Indian cricket, including IPL, has been taken down, and HBO content will be taken down on the 31st of March (Thank God Last of Us will be done by then). What am I paying for?
