This is something we need to buckle up for the long haul. We were days away from an S3 announcement and this flagship show was taken down for no reason. This is unprecedented
Hi! I'm Melissa! Putting up a lurker post, too :) I came into OFMD in the week between 1x6 and 1x7 airing, and I never left! I'm from the Midwest, and I'm an embarrassing nerd

This cancellation is awesome. We're probably going to get a better streamer, we're pulling new people into the show, and we get to irritate Max forever!

Good morning to the most amazing crew on earth! QRT with what’s fueling you to fight again today!
For me, it’s knowing how far along s3 was. We are not starting from scratch. Let’s turn this ship back around.

Zaslav loved The Flash, and Bloys thought the Game of Thrones finale was satisfying. We are not dealing with people who are fond of high quality media here

There it goes!! $wbd has hit an all time low thanks to David Zaslav's leadership. Went to 5D chart bc the sharp drop wasn't showing on 1D yet
Keep in mind this is in response to Q4 discussion, not their current Q1 debacle
Remembering the time this didn't happen in any way, shape, or form, and this "lightly hinted at" repeated lie had to have DJenks come in and state the obvious that Taika was fully on and excited about S3
Remembering that time Taika only did one interview to promote season 2 of OFMD and he lightly hinted that both he and Rhys didn't want to be involved for a 3rd season.
There it starts!
We are very passionate,

After years of queerbaiting, OFMD said we should expect better. After watching Max fumble S2, I think OFMD should also expect better! I want to help make things uncomfortable for Max, but I really want OFMD S3 on a different platform

Remember, Max cancels all their originals, and the only thing they're putting (most expensive in industry) sub money toward is paying David Zaslav and a few 100M show for JK Rowling

WBD really thought they could get a mobilization of free advertising for The G*lded Age and didn't expect the mobilization of free advertising for their stock and company failures instead, huh?

Idk, if you're into Martha Stewart, it's kinda weird that you canceled Julia

This puts Max at a 58.14% cancelation rate of shows that have aired after the merger (April 2022). The fate of 18.6% is currently unknown. HBO has a 35% cancelation rate and 10% unknown. Shows like Euphoria and Fired on Mars are unknown but effectively canceled

Reminder: S3 was greenlit in 2022. HBO/WBD is now broke and undergoing a catastrophic implosion. Expect a cancellation announcement a few months after the season completes
#DontStreamOnMax
For reference: Bridgerton brought in about 28M viewers on its release two weeks ago, and HotD brought in 7M. Bridgerton is a streaming exclusive, and HotD is cross platform. HotD has no real competition, so this isn't an accomplishment.
Mute and block features work pretty well on Twitter. If someone is still seeing

Getting attention from non flag fans is important! We’re showing Max that we are not an echo chamber and other people are rooting for us! Even if it’s just because they’re sick of seeing us in the comments lol

After Max ruined most of S2's storybeats beforehand, I NEED an S3 from a streamer with a working marketing department so I can watch it with a much bigger degree of surprise

If you look at scripted shows, the cancellation rate is over 50%. Sub money goes to support bloated exec salary and not the product. Max has an unengaged audience

Remember after a year and a half of rampant speculation, S2 literally opened with (what was going to be) a sex dream between Ed and Stede, with "babe" and "love" and rolling around in the sand? 🥰

The competition isn't fierce. GOT and Friends are the only things keeping your service afloat by design. You support a small catalog but charge the highest sub price of streamers (going to Zaslav, not the service)
