The big dog in the game is actually Amazon Prime with roughly 150 million subs just in the states. If you add in the add-ons like Acorn and Britbox etc the number skyrockets.
No, the number stays the same, to get the add-ons you have to be part of that 150 million.
I have Prime for the shipping, the video is a extra.
Britbox and Acorn only have about a million subs each, very minor services compared to Netflix, Disney, Hulu and Paramount.

Why are you bringing up CNN not doing well, unless you are trying to make a statement here that is not allowed.IMHO CNN+ is a last ditch effort to save CNN which has been dying for quite a while now. CNN+ won't save it and HBO Max would be nuts to bundle it but this is what I've been talking about, HBOMax is heading toward being a streaming cable company by bundling in as many junk groups as it can find just to pump up the channel numbers.
By the way, while the ratings for CNN in the states are down, it is still quite big in the rest of the world.
If HBO MAX wishes to bundle, that is fine, usually that comes with a Discount, like the bundle with Commercial Free Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+ at $19.99 a month that I am going to get, the biggest plus for me is I can get Hulu Gift Cards ( along with Netflix and YouTube TV-Google Play)with my credit card points, so no cost to me.
Hopefully, like Hulu, HBO will continue to offer services separately, I care nothing for Discovery+.
