It was just announced that they are renaming it back to HBO Max from Max, that's why you are seeing the memes, it's fucking funny how idiotic they were with the name changes, not everything is an ad...

I mean, branding is kinda an ad, it's the purpose of the brand, especially renaming it.

But I ask bcs some companies (like for movies) do pay people to produce (seemingly anonymous) memes to get peoples attention.
(And perhaps my bad, bcs I never got why steaming services names are funny, even those very short lived ones, so this might add to my confusion)
