If you’ve been hanging out for a ‘pure’ HBO Max subscription without all that pesky VPN geododging, good news! HBO Max is coming to Australia in 2025… but that raises a whole lot of questions, now doesn’t it?
HBO Max — or possibly just Max — is coming to Australia in the first half of 2025!
But given the strong tie-up between Foxtel and HBO in Australia, what does that mean for the value of a Foxtel subscription next year?
Right now, I’m running AlexReviewsTech without Google Ads at all.
Why? Most people complain about them a lot, and I can see why — they can often be intrusive or irrelevant, and they get between you and the content you’d like to enjoy in the first place.
The problem is… that limits the income for the site, which makes it harder to run (servers cost money) and harder to justify (I like to eat food… sometimes!)
That’s why I’m instead seeking reader assistance to keep AlexReviewsTech viable, primarily via Ko-Fi donations.
Don’t want to make a Ko-Fi donation? There are other ways you can support AlexReviewsTech — read about them here!
Will they be in direct competition with HBO, or could a deal that sees HBO content as an add-on to Foxtel be in the works?
I’m joined by TV Blackbox’s Steve Molk to talk through what it all means — or could mean.
You can read TV Blackbox’s story on the announcement here.
AlexReviewsTech is (for the moment) running ad-free.
This is done via the generosity of folks like you who cover the difference between having on-site ads (with their intrusivenes, flashy images, interstitials, all that bad stuff) by making a one-off or regular sponsorship donation. Something’s got to keep the server spinning up.
So if you’ve found what you’ve read valuable, and you’d like AlexReviewsTech to stay ad-free, please consider making a one-off (or recurring) donation.
If everyone gave just a little, the ads would never need to return — and I would be able to bring you even more ethically-produced tech journalism.
I’d like that, and I think you would too.
