Not that many years ago, HBO was still locked behind expensive cable subscriptions while Netflix cost only a fraction of what you'd pay for a premium cable tier. With HBO Max having spun off into its own streaming service, and now this price change, Netflix has become more expensive than HBO!

(Jan 29, 2013) I'd say they probably did accomplish that, but now HBO is still HBO and HBO has become Netflix in addition to being HBO.
