50 thoughts on “Why CNN’s Streaming Service Was a Catastrophic Failure

  1. I realised the scale of the trust issue when I watched an “explainer” by CNN on the Florida parental rights bill, genuinely just wanting to understand it. Well, it was 10 minutes of being spoon fed exactly what I ought to think and why I ought to be outraged.

  2. You missed a huge cause of CNN's failure. Under Zucker a reality TV guy the network went full opinion because it made for good ratings. No one trusted or watched CNN for news for a long time so no one was going to pay for it.

  3. The biased support for democrats without clearly stating that as their editorial line is the main point for their lack of credibility and massive failure to sell a paid service. Their cable ratings were in shambles long before the launch of CNN+

  4. It just didn’t make much sense. You’re losing your key demographic in droves so your solution is to launch a service that people have to pay for when people aren’t watching what you offer for free? Streaming is due to see some collapses with how watered down it has become. The initial appeal was having one or two that took care of your TV needs for the most part and saved you money from cable. But now that there’s so many if you subscribed to all of them you’d be paying what you’d pay for cable. So the idea that another service just doesn’t seem wise all considered.

  5. CNN stopped reporting truthful news, and began broadcasting Liberal "hope-news"… that is, they broadcast stories they HOPED were true, and the problem is, they weren't true.

  6. Obviously, I think shutting down after 3 weeks was probably… expecting way too much of a new service. Which actually seems like a general problem with this service. I also wonder who this service is for and where they advertised it. Given many in the comments didn't even know about it I am guessing they mostly advertised on TV, but those people would already be on regular CNN(or have stopped watching it) and have basically no interest in the streaming service.

  7. CNN spread lies and Propaganda. I have stopped watching it long before 2016 when they lied about Israeli Palestinian conflict always justifying and excusing radical Islamic terrorists. Very happy to watch their slow death.

  8. Fox News is doing very well with both news and opinion shows – just like their top money making channels and shows. Don't compare Fox with CNN. You compared the #1 show Tucker with CNN – LMAO – that is like comparing a bankrupt company – Blockbuster with Netflix (except Netflix took a big hit like Disney Streaming that fired it's CEO). When are you making a video on "How Disney screwed up and lost money on streaming to millions of kids during Covid?!" Now that is unbelievable – Netflix is cutting way back… What about Apple + who watches that woke crap?! I look forward to your next videos – good job – stop the BS liberal swipe – most of these failed companies are run by libtards… fyi.

  9. Every news outlet that lies to its consumers regularly is doomed to go broke. Too bad, that this most important point was not emphasized in your video. CNN is the most mocked, because on top of it all, their presenters are of pathetically low IQ. But hey, we still have Shmock Todd over on NBC, so the fun is not entirely over.

  10. no never heard of it until it failed. not that I would have ever watched, even if they paid me $6 a month. All the content they touted was available on existing streaming services. Why would I care what Anderson Coopers trial and tribulations of being a "dad" are? Why would I pay to watch potatohead? Their ill-conceived notion was all based on the fallacy that their personalities, and I use that term loosely, were celebrities.

  11. brand trust is a big issue .. when your only job is to criticise a certain someone in so doing not report on news factually.. right or left you are going to have a hard time getting people to pay for your content…

  12. What does CNN stand for?

    a. Clinton News Network
    b. Clown News Network
    c. Communist News Network
    d. all of the above

    DISCLAIMER: I am NOT conservative; CNN is just the liberal version of FOX
