The state of Max in 2026

By FrostVibe801 · DISCUSSION · About Max

With all the competition in this space, where does Max stand heading into 2026? I think it still has strong fundamentals but the lack of innovation recently is concerning. The ecosystem is mature which is both a strength and a weakness. What do you all think about its future?

StormVibe941: Had the same problem. Try resetting to factory defaults and setting up from scratch. Fixed it for me. Pain to reconfigure everything but it works.

SwiftMaker952: Saving this thread. So many good takes.

DigitalHawk9933: Can we talk about how nobody addresses the environmental impact?

WildOrbit297: Pro tip: check the community forums for Max. There are some incredible guides there that the official docs don't cover.

CrystalScout894: Counter-argument: what if the current trend is actually sustainable?

ShadowVibe354: I switched from Max to a competitor last month. Honestly regretting it. The grass isn't always greener.
