Can somebody explain the difference between HBO MAX and HBO MAX?

EDIT: As it was explained to me these are all the same service over time

In between they thought the HBO brand held some great prestige and wanted to protect it from stuff like live sports (that aren't boxing) and reality TV (that isn't Real Sex or Taxi Cab Diaries or Cathouse Some SHits) and so forth.

Then they realized nobody gave a shit AND it led to a lot of people wondering "what the hell is max?". So the HBO branding is back.

No I'm not asking the difference between HBO and MAX. I'm asking the difference between HBO MAX and HBO MAX. Please refer to the chart above.

HBO MAX was HBO's streaming service, albeit with some content from partners and subsidiaries. The difference is that HBO MAX is HBO's streaming service (with some content from partners and subsidiaries).
