Since its launch earlier this year, it’s clear that HBO Max wants to put itself up there with Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV+ as a streaming platform that offers commercial-free viewing with a huge library of titles. That separates it from competitors like Peacock and Hulu, which utilize commercials as a way to bring in revenue and offer lower pricing. Well, after a fairly ho-hum 2020, it seems as if HBO Max might be on the way to reversing its no-commercials promise.
