Ways to Support Infinity Train without Watching it on HBO Max (A Thread)

So you can't afford HBO Max, or maybe it simply isn't available in your country. Below in this thread I will be giving you several things that you can do (both free or paid) to help the show.

1) First and foremost, the best thing that you can do to support the show is to talk about it.

Whether that be online or real life discussions. If you can get someone interested in it, they may potentially like it and then get others interested. Earned advertisement helps loads.

2) Make fanart or fan works and post them online!

This could be theories, analysis/review videos, AMVs, drawings, etc. If the show has inspired you to make something, post it! Again, this falls under the classification of "earned advertisement". You might get someone into it!

Quick detour before I continue, but Earned Advertisement is "the additional exposure that companies receive in the media without having to pay for it. Examples include news coverage or reviews". We learned how important it is in digital media class and how companies rely on it.

3) Usage of a VPN to access HBO Max.

If you have the means to pay for an HBO Max subscription, but live in a country that doesn't have the service, you could potentially use a VPN to make and pay for an account. Some VPN's are free, like ProtonVPN. Not all of them are paid.

4) Watch Book 3 Episode 1 for Free on HBO Max.

If you cannot pay for an HBO Max subscription but are able to get a free VPN/already have one, the first episode of Book 3 is free to watch on HBO Max (without making an account). https://www.hbomax.com/infinity-train/sneak-peek

5) Give HBO Max feedback when they ask for it on their social media.

HBO Max frequently asks for feedback, and asks their customers what they would like to see more of on their platform. Ask for more Infinity Train politely. Don't spam demands under unrelated posts (cont.)...

Spamming under unrelated posts to renew Infinity Train doesn't help, because it's seen as engagement towards whatever the actual post is on. They don't look at the quality or subject of replies on posts that they aren't looking for feedback on. Ask on related posts/tag them.

6) Give HBO Max feedback on their website: https://help.hbomax.com/feedback 

You can let them know directly that you would like to see more Infinity Train. Again, make sure to ask them politely, and give them reasons why would would like it to be renewed. I'm giving a very bland example.

7) Buy official Infinity Train merch.

This one is kind of difficult, since there isn't really a whole hell of a lot of merch out there. There is the official glow in the dark shirt and the B1 DVD. That's about it.

8) Buy unoffocial merchandise from creators who support the show/other cartoons.

This could help with the whole "earned advertisement" thing that I mentioned earlier in the thread. Door pins are by a crew member (second link).

9) Encourage companies to make official merch.

Companies like @OriginalFunko allow you to submit suggestions & ideas for figures. They've worked with Cartoon Network and Warner Bros. before, so they're likely to work with them again if there's interest.

10) Buy digital releases of Infinity Train.

iTunes has official episodes that you can buy, as well as OST. They only allow you to buy Books 1 & 2, B3 is still only on HBO Max. OST for Book 1 is available.

Here's some other places that you can officially purchase the episodes and the OST.

11) Stream the Official OST on Spotify

Pretty self-explanatory! If you have Spotify, it would help to stream it. Spotify can either be free or paid. So this is potentially a non-money option. https://open.spotify.com/album/23qhNkm9OvDKMiJBe5iCP8?si=TfgDT-_4Tb-HPqKzHZpjpg

12) Trending Hashtag Events

Again falling under "earned advertisement", this is an excellent way to get HBO Max's attention and let them know we want to see the show renewed. Today's event "RENEW INFINITY TRAIN" is a good example, and organized hashtag events work best.

13) Support/keep up with the cast and crew.

In the event that Infinity Train isn't continued, supporting the crew who worked on it is the next best thing. They do amazing work, and they may create something in the future that you will like just as much. List of accounts below.

14) Watch videos about it on YouTube.

This may look like a shill since I've made videos on Infinity Train before, but it helps more than you know. If they see that people are interested via interactions on platforms like YouTube, that looks good to them (cont.)...

As years have gone on, companies have noticed more and more that YouTube influencers and social media can boost a show from obscurity to overnight fame. Just look at Steven Universe after Jailbreak, for example. If they see high interactions/viral videos on it, that'll help.

As far as videos I recommend watching on the show, I do have a few (not just my own). Feel free to link recommendations below if you have any.

15) The obvious one is to watch on HBO Max IF YOU CAN.

It's fine if for whatever reason you are unable to, but the second best way to support the show (beyond simply spreading the word) is to watch it legally. If you can't do that, you have 14 other ways of support listed above.

Those are all of the things that I can think of at the moment. If any industry professionals or Crew would like to give input/ways to support the Crew and show, please reply below and I'll add to this thread and/or RT to spread the word. RENEW INFINITY TRAIN
