Truth streaming

TRUTH Social might grab the headlines and buzz for a while (early reports suggest signing up was a bit buggy) but for the Trump Media & Technology Group, it's not where they see the biggest financial opportunity. An investor presentation from November reveals the company's (pretty optimistic) projections for the future.

Not content with just battling big tech, TMTG is also looking to make streaming "great again" with TMTG+  — a streaming service to compete with Netflix, Disney and the other 50-odd streaming services available in North America. The investor presentation has TMTG+ getting to 40 million paid subscribers by the end of 2026, which would be just over half what Netflix currently has in the US & Canada.

Paramount+ wants to look a lot more like TikTok, leaked documents reveal

Larry Ellison’s Oracle just took a 15% stake in TikTok’s US arm. David Ellison’s Paramount streaming service could soon look a lot more like it.

According to leaked documents seen by Business Insider, Paramount+ is planning a big push into short-form, user-generated video in the vein of the addictive feeds of TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

Per Business Insider, the documents reveal that short-form videos are a top priority for the streamer in the first quarter of 2026, and executives are working on adding a personalize feed of clips to the mobile app.

The move would follow similar mobile-centric plans from Disney, which earlier this month announced that it would bring vertical video to Disney+ this year, and Netflix, which during its earnings call said it would revamp its mobile app toward vertical video feeds and expand its short-form video features.

Streamers are increasingly competing for user attention with popular apps. YouTube is regularly the most popular streaming service by time spent.
