On the day of the premiere, a new combined streaming service called Max, which is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, immediately encountered serious technical glitches.

On Tuesday morning, subscribers filled social media with comments and complaints about having trouble logging into Max, which was supposed to replace HBO Max.

It is also alleged that Warner Bros. Discovery is actively monitoring customer reports of technical failures from "command posts" in several locations, including Bellevue, Washington, New York and London. "The entire team is on high alert," said Discovery CTO Avi Saxen.
