				Long-time Slashdot reader <a href="/~Shakrai">Shakrai</a> writes: <i>Continuing the seemingly industry-wide trend towards <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification">enshitification</a> of the Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) marketplace, Max today announced that it will be making changes to the current Ad-Free plan. To wit, 4K HDR with Dolby Atmos <a href="https://www.droid-life.com/2023/11/02/4k-streaming-removed-from-ad-free-max-plans/">will be removed and concurrent streams will decrease from three to two</a>.
<p> 
In other words, you are paying the same price for less features. If you wish to keep the features you've had all along, all you have to do is <a href="https://help.max.com/US/Answer/Detail/000002547">upgrade to Ultimate Ad-Free</a> at a 33% premium for the annual plan or 25% increase for monthly. No news yet on a crackdown of password sharing, however, that seems inevitable as the industry <a href="https://entertainment.slashdot.org/story/23/06/09/170236/netflix-password-crackdown-drives-us-sign-ups-to-highest-levels-in-at-least-four-years">races to the bottom</a>.

Meet the new cable boss, same as the old, except, they bring death by several small cuts instead of a single large one.</p></i><br></br>
