With House of the Dragon pulling a record number of viewers for its premiere and only increasing for episode two, HBO Max is now employing a curious marketing strategy by releasing the entirity of the premiere, “The Heirs of the Dragon”, on their Youtube channel, for everyone in the USA to watch—free of charge:
The video is age-restricted, naturally, so you’ll have to watch it directly on Youtube, and it’s region-locked to the United States. Despite those restrictions, HBO Max is still freely sharing the first episode with an astonishing number of people. At the time of writing, the video was uploaded 8 hours ago, at night in the USA, and it already has about 40,000 views, and rising quickly.
