They've tried to cancel it numerous times, and everytime they do people lose their absolute mind and threaten them for daring to try and destroy an "American cultural cornerstone." And not just randos on the internet, but actual people in power. No one will watch it, but they demand it still exists.
Its no surprise they whore themselves out to political parties and other corporations to try and maybe staunch that flow
Same for when they tried to end Turner Classic Movies a couple of years ago.
The network has no commercials for anything other than itself, and rarely advertises outside its medium--the most advertising it's gotten lately was thanks to "Timeless" Toni Storm, an AEW pro wrestler who uses classic movies as her gimmick...and, to her credit, has gone above and beyond with it; I think she's great.
Anyway, when they tried to pull it off the air, a lot of big Hollywood names, including Steven Spielberg (I know, I know), put their feet down, and that managed to save the network.
It still loses money every year, though. A shame, as it's one of the best ways to watch the black-and-white classics. With how David Zaslav is, they're probably not on HBO Max.

You probably like this channel then https://youtube.com/@boomerchannel_yt
Not sure if you're joking, because that link is a 404.
To be fair, that's not the first YouTube channel where a quirk of how URLs work caused that.
I found it the old-fashioned way (go figure). Not my thing, but I appreciate it.
Don't know why, but if you search boomer channel on YouTube, it's there
