CNN has acquired video-sharing startup Beme, a social media app launched last year by popular YouTube star Casey Neistat, the cable-news network announced Monday.

While the deal will bring the apps video technology to CNN, it will also allow the news company to tap into Mr. Neistats large, young digital audience. The deal is valued at about $25 million, according to people familiar with the matter.

I'm surprised it went for that amount, didn't really have a lot of active users on it. Good for Casey Neistat though, always good to see a youtuber branch out from youtube on different projects.

I think the response he got back from the who I'm voting for video may have also been the reason.

I hope this is a massive flop and they just lost every penny. Hate news outlets like CNN who twist people up for views
