The author goes on to make exactly this point a handful of paragraphs later. The MoviePass bit is a fun story to suck you in, not the meat of the piece.

- ggggtez 6y agoAgree. If anything, it made it seem like they don't really understand anything about MoviePass, or why it failed, or even what they were trying to do. It's like opening your example with saying you're going to talk about why this professional sports team lost the big game, and then your article is all about how you need to kick the ball into the goal to score points. It makes it seem like they really don't have a clue what they are talking about.
