Apple doesn’t want to let WarnerMedia have its moment in the sun.
On Tuesday, Disney was heavily promoting Disney+, its upcoming streaming service, on Twitter — only hours before WarnerMedia is set to host a media event debuting HBO Max, its own upcoming streaming service.
The #DisneyPlus hashtag was the top trending topic in the Los Angeles area early on Tuesday, with Disney throwing some money behind it to make the promotion the first thing users see. After clicking the topic, users see a series of Disney+ ads, including several promoting “The Mandalorian,” its new “Star Wars” TV show. Other promoted tweets include reminders that “The Simpsons” will be on Disney+ when it launches on Nov.
