Fans Up in Arms Over Max Shamelessly Spoiling Movies In Descriptions
There Is no way Max will keep spoiling movies like this.
In today's digital age, where streaming platforms have become the primary source of entertainment for many, it's crucial to strike a balance between attracting viewers and preserving the thrill of experiencing a movie or TV show for the first time.
Have you ever opened up your streaming service, only to find that the plot of the movie you were planning to watch has been spoiled in the description?
If you're a subscriber to Max (previously known as HBO Max ), then you might be all too familiar with this problem.
People are sharing their indignation on social media about Max streaming service. The problem that the users face is that the description straight up spoils movies' plots.
Some people think those descriptions could be written by AI, but there's no solid proof of that.
A Max user shared one example from the streaming service on Reddit. The description of Citizen Kane reads:
"As Charles Foster Kane, wealthy, reclusive mogul, utters his dying words, the mysterious phrase "rosebud" (the name of his beloved childhood sleigh), reporters go on a frenzied search to decipher the cryptic meaning."
Not only does the description give away some plot details, but it might be also AI-generated. Another Reddit user asked ChatGPT to write a description for Citizen Kane, and according to them, it was pretty similar to Max's.
But we should still take it with a grain of salt. Sometimes it is really hard to say for sure if a text was AI-generated or written by a human being.
Many people think that it's not just Max's issue, but other streaming platforms have it too.
Anyway, it's important for streaming services to remember that viewers want to be surprised and engaged by the content they are watching.
By spoiling major plot points right in the description, these services are doing a disservice to their subscribers and damaging their reputation.
By prioritizing quantity over quality, instead of creating a more enjoyable viewing experience for everyone, the streaming services might lose trust of their subscribers which is totally not quite beneficial.
