As I said three months ago: television (OTA broadcast, networks, and cable) are about to get, or are in the process of getting, newspapered: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40826253 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40826253> That is: what occurred to the newspaper industry since the dot-com and Global Financial Crisis recessions as advertising dried up seems to now be hitting broadcast/streaming services. As with newspapers, I suspect that this will play out over a decade or more, with outlets being snapped up by vulture capitalists stripping carrion for any remaining meat. CNN's paywall is a sign of the times. It also suggests that other mainstream broadcast and cable news providers (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, NewsMax, Sinclair) may also be following suit. In the latter three cases, one would hope.... It'll be interesting to see both what happens to major sources of highly-biased and disinformational content (see those which have lost or settled major lawsuits in recent months) as their advertising feed-hose dries up. Meantime, I'll be looking to see what happens to CNN's "lite" feed: <https://lite.cnn.com/ https://lite.cnn.com/>.
