evidence: The Cartoon Network website, which had been online since 1998, was removed from the internet on August 8, as per a report in Variety. Previously a portal with a video-heavy homepage for shows like 'Teen Titans Go!', 'The Powerpuff Girls', 'Adventure Time', and 'Steven Universe', users are now redirected to Max, another Warner Bros. Discovery streaming platform, where they can see their favourite cartoons. [...] CartoonNetwork.com is the victim of the ongoing streaming war among online portals. It also seems like a cost-cutting measure meant to entice viewers to pay for Max. The parent firm Paramount Global removed the websites for Comedy Central, MTV News, and CMT in June. In February, Paramount also cancelled the preschool-focused channel Noggin. Meanwhile, the Cartoon Network website went live in July 1998, which was roughly six years after the cable network's October 1992 launch. It also existed as an AOL channel as early as 1996. Last month, a rumour that Cartoon Network was shutting down sent shockwaves on social media and #RIPCartoonNetwork became the top trend. The rumour started with a video posted on X (formerly Twitter) by the account "Animation Workers Ignited", which claimed that the channel was "dead". However, it was clarified that the channel was not shutting down.
