Honestly this sounds like copy:

"With nearly $2 billion in cash invested and a huge roster of A-list celebrities creating content, it seemed like a recipe for success."

Really? That's the 'recipe for success', a bunch of money and a bunch of celebrities?

Name me 'successes' that used that 'recipe'?

Isn't it the majority of success cases where the recipe was: start out with something unique/novel, start small (AirBNB started with an air matress in an SF apartment), work really hard, put your sweat and tears into it, and watch it grow?

I'd really LOVE to know how many times the recipe of: through a crapload of money into something not really that novel, get alot of celebrities involved... actually worked.

I really wonder if journalists are even BOTHERING to try anymore...

I knew this shit was going to go down in flames. The concept was ********.
The streaming market is so saturated right now. Netflix is better off buying the competition if they could.

Wow, certainly didn't see that coming... oh wait, nope, that's wrong, I most certainly saw this coming. Wonder where the campaigners in this thread who claimed this was better than sliced bread have disappeared to...

When you appeal to a specific target, and you shake and innovate...people will pay. To be seen.
We saw, we laughed, and it's gone.
