If you had Netflix stock I hope you already sold it, this company is dying.
I'm disappointed in how fast streaming services copied the exact same path as cable television. Was it really only a bit less than a decade that we had it good?
Blew my mind when I learned that before I was alive, one of the selling points of cable television was no commercials.
The problem is we could never have had the decades before the enshittification caught up.
There have been a few post mortems on WoW Classic, and it never replicated classic wow. Why? The real power curve in wow was the slow development of tools and raid management techniques which trivialized early content and lead the the steady rise in more complex fights and inflated power of post-classic raids.The players brought all that Shadowlands optimization back with them. Classic power levels were no match for modern raid groups. They brought the reasons modern raiding is panned back with them, and in doing so lost the reasons they wanted a classic raiding experience.
Streaming was birthed into a developed eco-system. It needs to be handled differently than broadcast to work, but those in charge bring the broadcast system with them.
