When Max, the streaming service formerly known as HBO Max, debuted last month there were problems. For instance, many subscribers were struggling to log into the new Max platform. There was even reports of some that tried Max and it just made them miss HBO Max even more. But it seems that despite these issues, Max is already a success.

According to The Wrap, which quotes the paywalled Wall Street Journal, 70% of HBO Max and Discovery Plus subscribers made the switch to the new Max service during the first week of its launch. The Wrap interprets that as nearly one-third of users not switching, but 70% in such a short time is an impressively large number.
