resonance

In the United States, CuriosityStream is cited as an example of the increasing relevance of digital streaming services, including Time Magazine , the New York Times and Mashable (“CuriosityStream: the new 'Netflix' for non-fiction”)

In the German-speaking area, there was no significant response, mainly due to the lack of translation into German and the corresponding lack of competitiveness with other platforms.
