If you thought Donald Trump's truth social was the biggest internet flop of this year so far,
I need to direct your attention over to CNN plus. Now CNN plus was a streaming service or is at
the moment a streaming service that CNN launched just a couple weeks ago. They spent $300 million
creating this CNN streaming service and it's already an even bigger flop than Donald Trump's
truth social. In fact, CNN plus has failed so hard, it makes truth social look like a fricking
goldmine at this point. According to the latest reports, even though it was only launched on March
29th, so we're talking two weeks ago, CNN has already announced that they're gonna have to
make some major cutbacks and fire quite a few people from CNN plus because nobody's watching
it. They're registering about 10,000 users a day, 10,000 users a day. Put it this way. If we put out
a video on our YouTube channel that had only got 10,000 views, we would consider that a failure.
Hell, even my climate change videos that nobody seems to care about still do better than 10,000
views a day and CNN plus, right? This massive multi billion dollar media
empire can't even get more than 10,000 viewers per day. And they spent $300 million on it.
This is from Axios. CNN executives with help from consulting firm McKinsey originally expected to
bring in around 2 million subscribers in the US in the services first year and 15 to 18 million after
four years. They thought it would break even, they'd make their $300 million back
after four years, it costs $6 a month or $60 a year if you'd like to get a deal on it,
to watch this streaming service from CNN. So here's the thing. Even CNN's regular channel,
by the way, is doing really bad. They're not even getting a million viewers per day,
per day. Like 773,000 viewers per day is what CNN pulls in, which again, is about what our
YouTube channel does on a very good day. So we're I guess, rivals to CNN. I know
people like David Pakman, Sam Seder, they bring in more viewers than that. TYT does.
So CNN is failing by every possible measure. But the streaming service of course is a
little bit different. This was supposed to be their foray into strictly online streaming
and it's already dead. And I think part of the reason for that
is because nobody wants to pay $6 for something that they can literally get for free
and CNN didn't bother to think about that. You can get the regular CNN app
and stream their programming for nothing. Or if you don't wanna go that route,
you can literally just download the YouTube app for free, watch all of CNN's content on there. And
if you're not into CNN, you can literally watch anything else in the world on YouTube for free.
So why would somebody wanna pay $6 a month for more Wolf Blitzer or more Anderson Cooper?
No, y'all, can't even get people to tune into your network on television for free.
Nobody's gonna pay $6 to get even more of that garbage.
