Max wants to push alerts on viewers when there is breaking news on CNN. (variety.com)

CNN Max is likely to evolve over time. Among the features the company will try out are ways of alerting Max viewers to breaking news while they are watching something else on the service, whether it be an HBO series, a Turner Classic Movies selection or an old episode of Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.”

The enshittification of our world continues unabated.

Motherfuckers, I don’t even watch CNN. What the fuck is going on today? Sony raising PS plus prices to ridiculous levels and now this. Fuck CNN. Fuck MAX!

What the fuck is going on today?

Interest rates. Loans just got a lot more expensive so big companies are all scrambling to shake down their customers for every penny they can get so they can get more debt off their books.

"raising PS plus prices to ridiculous levels" Just change to a different company's service, .... Oh, wait.

I just looked up PS Plus prices. Wth. Why does everything have to go up in price? The same service costs $20 more? I used to always get the codes on sale and now that’s harder to get so I was already thinking twice about renewing. Now with the price increase, I might as well just not renew it.

I hadn’t seen the PS+ increase before this and just now looked it up.

Like…seriously?? $80 for the base tier? And $160 for the top one?

There’s nothing extra being provided. The only reason I’ve bothered to keep it is for the 2 games each month since I don’t really online play that much anymore.

Easiest answer is to be your own consumer

Every time I make a decision the company ruins it.
