infamouscow · Answer

To any CNN+ software engineers: you made a great product and should be proud of your work. The failure is not your fault. The failure is 100% because CNN is run by some of the dumbest people in the world.

Since the + tab was integrated in the regular CNN app (w/ region-check), incl. login, etc. it doesn't seem as if the wheel was dramatically reinvented here.

What is everyone&rsquo;s age in this thread? It sounds like you are all kids.A site like CNN+ is using a third party vendor for their video streaming and everything else. The people you are reaching out to are the Rajeshs and Srinis of the world. There is no serious innovation going on.The tech stack is India, Java, shitheads in Atlanta, and a white hipster douche that does JavaScript and Rust in Williamsburg, practices leetcode on the side due to napoleonic complex and Adderral, hopes to get to a faang one day.This isn&rsquo;t groundbreaking stuff.

This is great news. Hopefully the regular CNN will fold soon as well. Their target audience is Boomers, and their business model is to enrage their viewers with sensationalism or outright propaganda ("Fiery but mostly peaceful protests"), then sell them SSRIs. They are a sick organization.
