\n\tAround 24 hours after Netflix<\/a> came to a $83 billion deal to buy Warner Bros<\/a>\u2018 TV and film studios, streamer HBO Max and HBO, the Ted Sarandos<\/a> and Greg Peters<\/a>-run streamer has sent a note to its over 82 million U.S. subscribers telling them \u201cnothing is changing.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tIn fact, in links from a four paragraph email from the \u201cNetflix team,\u201d the phrase \u201cnothing is changing\u201d comes up again and again. What also comes up when it comes to Netflix and HBO Max is \u00a0\u201cboth streaming services will continue to operate separately,\u201d the correspondence assures subscribers to the former. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe number #1 streamer in America and the number #3 streamer in America will continue to operate separately \u2014 for now. <\/p>\n

\n\tRead the full Netflix letter to US subscribers below<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tAnswering the pre-designated question \u201cwhat if I already have an HBO Max subscription, should I cancel?\u201d Netflix says on it deal Help Page: \u201cNetflix and Warner Bros. will remain separate until the transaction is closed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the victory lap Welcoming Warner Bros to Netflix\u201d missive, the streamer says: \u201cWe have more steps to complete before the deal is closed, including regulatory and shareholder approvals. You\u2019ll hear from us when we have more to share.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tComing off a big day of understatements in CEO memos and meetings, a Warner Bros Discovery<\/a> town hall, reactions (not a lot of Atta Boys, if you know what I mean?) and more, those almost aside \u201cregulatory and shareholder approvals\u201d make take top prize. There is a minefield of such obstacles, including more than likely the Paramount<\/a> and Ellisons-loving President of the United States, the federal Department of Justice, the EU and 50 state Attorney Generals. Then there\u2019s the possibility of a Paramount lawsuit or an overbid to snuff out the $28 per share offer from Netflix. All TBD.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs it is Netflix late Friday was gleeful about having \u201cHarry Potter<\/a>, Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Casablanca, Game of Thrones\u00a0and the DC Universe together with\u00a0Stranger Things, Wednesday, Squid Game, Bridgerton\u00a0and\u00a0KPop Demon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe opposition to NetBros has certainly resulted in some strange things and strange bedfellows.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat else can you think of that seems to unite Donald Trump<\/a> (who heaps praise on paramount CEO David Ellison<\/a> and his Oracle founding\/second richest man on the planet father Larry Ellison), Sen. Bernie Sanders<\/a> and the Hollywood unions? A unity for very different reasons, it might be noted. <\/p>\n

\n\tAccusing Netflix of \u201cswallowing\u201d the jewels in the WBD crown, the two-time unsuccessful Democratic nomination contender from Vermont said in a post today: <\/p>\n
