This could be an EXCELLENT marketing opportunity.

Set up a site for fans to point out errors and vote on them.

Then have HBO have just one editor interact with fans on the site, fix the most popular errors, and talk about them, maybe stream a little of the editing process.



Yes a bit like modern car companies do by pushing out whatever untested experimental feature they have and let the customers figure them out (or die).


Or just regular software companies. Microsoft's been beta testing on actual users since MS-DOS!


That would require HBO to actually care.. They've already been paid, I don't see them fixing any of this for the streaming service.


>Update: the season one episodes are being updated live on HBO Max to their correct positions and titles. The corrected title:

>They've already been paid

HBO sells a subscription. Presumably, their goal is to be paid again, and again, and again.


marketing for people to engage with HBO Max and Mad Men... they haven't "already been paid"


It honestly seemed like pretty sharp marketing to me already when I read about it on AV Club.


True
