Some movies are ad free. 8 bit Christmas for example
I've read in the past that Apple has had a lot of trouble with promotional type deals with their payments. So there's a chance that the next month will charge you $9.99 instead. Fortunately I was able to contact Apple, and while they were unable to resolve the actual promotional issue (they suggested I contact HBO directly), I had them cancel the subscription and refund the $1.99. It would save the hassle if I was charged $9.99 next month. I figured creating a new account and subscribing through HBOMax directly would be less of a hassle.
And the other thing to consider is that 4K content is only through the $15.99 Ad-Free plan.

Good to hear that they're still not inserting ads on HBO legacy programming. It's the best of the back catalogue and most of the really great stuff. $2 to binge HoTD ad-free is a compelling offer if you didn't watch it.

That's different from the value proposition of paying $2 to enjoy one of the biggest, if not the biggest TV event series of 2022. TV is or is becoming like movies. There will be a few pricey good blockbusters and a few "other" cheaper movies people will want to watch any given year, with the general audience all watching the blockbusters while fragmenting more on the cheaper movies (Oscar-bait, action, comedy, horror, etc.).
Personally, I think HBO should have adapted Dunk and Egg buddy comedy--although no dragons or CGI wonders, a lot of castles and fight scenes. Or a time jump and pay for an exceptional screenplay writer who might be able to replicate GRRM's talents at plot and characterization. Ronald D. Moore and Lindelof-level, although not sure either of them could pull it off. It's hard because exceptional writers are rare and not always consistent. GRRM wrote a ton, for example, and his only truly exceptional works are ASOIAF and D&E towards the end of his career, with both likely to be unfinished.
Hi TH0R, checking the terms and conditions details link on the promotion page, the last paragraph shows:
"After your discounted subscription period, your subscription will auto-renew each month at the then-current subscription price for the With Ads monthly plan (currently, $9.99/mo. plus applicable tax), on a recurring basis, unless you cancel before the renewal. To cancel your subscription, see Subscription in the profile settings of your HBO Max account. If you switch plans during your promotional period, you may lose the benefit of your promotional offer. If you cancel your subscription, you will continue to have access to HBO Max for the remainder of time you have already paid for."
So speaking for myself, and as mentioned by another member - I would think if you want to have 3 months of the subscription you'd need to manually cancel after third charge, otherwise the subscription will auto-renew at the current monthly rate they have listed.

Predator had no ads at all, but the Matrix movies all had ads. (I checked parts of them all)
