Hey, I like movies, so let's pop over to Discussing Film to see what's up:
Warner Bros Discovery is rebranding Max from using blue color to likely some combination of black & white.

That's too bad, I liked the blue. I also thought it was a stupid idea to change HBO Max to just plain Max, but I've gotten used to it.
Bold and edgy. Totally unprecedented.

Bloomberg reports:
The blue color is going away and will be replaced by something more neutral, likely some combination of black and white. The color of the app’s name will change with the color of the show in marketing campaigns.
The plans aren’t final, but the company hired a new chief marketing officer — former Netflix executive Shauna Spenley — who is spearheading the rebrand. The main color of HBO was always black and white. Then it became purple with HBO Max and blue with Max. We’re going back to the original colors, but keeping the HBO name out of it.
So the plans aren't final and they're just going back to the original colors.
But it that really the reason? Olivia Julianna explains:

Hey so one of the signs of rising extreme right wing ideologies is the removal of color from cultural norms. Hope this helps! https://t.co/TQ0r881h1o

This is one of those situations where I had to click over to Julianna's stream to make sure she's not some brilliant parody account, and it looks legit.
So is Max subtlety projecting signs of extreme right-wing ideologies? Or is Max in bed with President Trump?
Lot of yall too stupid to hear me

Yeah, that's the explanation.
I sure hope your account is monetized. You deserve to make a ton with such obviously stupid clickbait.

Any evidence or a link to a study on that one?

Hey 👋 20th century history professor here, I wrote my PhD thesis on the rise of the Nazis in Germany. This is actually true… the first thing that Hitler did when he came to power was change the color of the HBO Max logo from blue to black.

Ever notice that all the photos we have of Hitler are black-and-white?

I thought you’d be happy they’re changing it to black during Black History Month.

Is extreme right-wing ideology in the room with us??
— Xerro (@AgentXerro) February 19, 2025
I noticed she didn't say "right wing" or "far-right wing," but "extreme right-wing." That's pretty extreme.
I'm old enough to remember when the Apple logo was rainbow-colored, but the LGBTQ community has taken over the rainbow.
I'll feel really stupid if this is a troll post, but her timeline seems to show she's serious.
