Not surprised about Netflix. The political stance they've taken, the price increase, and mediocre content they have all play into it.

Imo, Netflix is kind of done. Disney+ is where it's at.

New ownership is rethinking CNN's place in its streaming ecosystem.

Less than a month after it launched, the streaming service CNN+ will wind down operations, as its new corporate owner Warner Bros. Discovery rethinks the news giant’s streaming strategy. The service will shut down on April 30, after launching on March 29, a source familiar with the plans said.

CNN employees were set to be informed of the decision Thursday by incoming CNN CEO Chris Licht.

When I heard this news it made me laugh because CNN+ was a terrible idea straight up. If people don't want to watch CNN, what would make them think they would pay for CNN+? Haha.

CNN is losing viewers, yet they thought this would have worked.. somehow.
