I did read The Streaming Wars and fully appreciate your pain that it gets so little attention. Maybe it's too complex, mind-bogglingly expensive, painful when it's supposed to be all fun all the time? Or maybe it's hard to feel sorry for flush companies with such richly paid smug execs? Idk. But I do see that you could probably dissect each step/misstep in much greater detail; naming names (with flaming character analysis), outlining idiocy and hubris, etc. Perhaps the underlying theory that endless growth is the only rational business plan might be flawed? I would read it. Business schools should teach it (they won't...). And a great movie should be made about it in about 3 years after all the 5 year plans have run their course.

Hat's off. It's a lonely battle when you're the lone chronicler.
