I think paywalls have generally increased revenue when tried in the past although I don’t have a citation. There is no growth opportunities so increasing price

There is no growth opportunities so increasing prices to increase revenue at the expense of market share makes sense.
- mrkstu 2y agoCurrent CNN has lost their special standing as the honest news broker. What appeal do they have over the masses of news content providers/commentariat at this stage?
- silisili 2y agoPaywalls work when you offer content not easily available everywhere else. NY Times or WSJ come to mind. CNN in my opinion has no special content. It's just one of tens of national news sites, full of weird ad spam below the fold. I don't see this working well for them, but I've been wrong before.
- olyjohn 2y agoDon't forget about their massive trash site "Underscore" or whatever that is purely designed to get people to click affiliate links. No fucking integrity.
