Just the main weekly segment, there are usually other segments that don't get uploaded to YouTube (weekly rundown, And Now, small updates)
Gotta say, I've never seen a service make a better argument against using that service than whatever is left of HBO.
Some day somebody will write a book about what sort of insane The Producers nonsense is going on in there and I can't wait.
It's actually insane, and what's crazier is it seems to be heavily pushed by Zaslav. It's so wild how quickly he's pushed HBO's reputation into... this.
Honestly they don't get enough hate as they should, everyone shits on Twitter changing names and not enough people realize HBO did the same thing changing to Max, who on earth would think that was a good idea lol
Can't wait to look at "This content is not available i n your region".
Awesome. I always wonder though, why they don't host them themselves.
I'd love if they self hosted or found something other than YouTube. It's probably a money issue though.
Sweet
