Adjacent is generous.

HBO's whole thing is high quality content. They shoved a bunch of trashy faked reality nonsense down my throat.

yeah but the trashy faked reality nonsense isn't what they've been cancelling. They killed 2 of my favourite shows, the jerks.

It's the stuff the OP is calling "HBO-adjacent" that's most of your subscription now.

I literally cancelled it when they added all that nonsense before noticing them deleting anything I cared about in large part because merely existing massively lowered my value of the subscription. (The rest because they made me manually install a new app that looked identical but didn't work.)
