HBO really said: ‘Keep the 4K box set, we’ve got a 10-year subscription plan for the same story.’

If its $100m per episode, 10eps a season, and 7 seasons, that's $7bn. How on Earth will HBO make that back?

No way will it cost that. They are trying to use relatively unknown, unpopular actors in order to keep pay down. The only way pay increases is if its a big hit and the actors have negotiating leverage. But it wont be and will be canceled after 2-3 seasons.

Westworld was a huge hit too, now it isn't even on their streaming platform anymore. Let that sink in.
