I am giving up Discovery+, and here’s why

This could be your banner!

I was one of the first people to sign up for Discovery+ when it debuted in 2021, due to the fact that my girlfriend and I watched most shows that were on the Discovery Communications offerings such as 7 Little Johnsons, Gold Rush, Dr. Pimple Popper, and others.  The streaming service was a convenient place for all of our favorite shows and specials.  That is, until MAX came online last month.

Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!

When it did, I compared the content for the two streaming services, and much to my surprise, the content on both streaming services were identical.  While no official announcement has been given, I think Discovery Communications has begun the process of shuttering Discovery+ while building up MAX as the new destination.  This is also apparent in the lack of advertising for Discovery+ on its TV Networks.

So in closing, unless you have a specific reason to keep Discovery+, I think its safe to say that the streaming service won’t be around by the Fall.
