Why? There's something to be said for letting dinosaurs get fatter and lazier. Eventually an upstart will come along and be able to move up to the top. In the 1960's no one even dreamed that IBM would lose its dominant position in

There's no how there. Just a bunch of hand-wavy stuff. They talk about the freedom of content providers to go around Netflix and Amazon, but in a lot of cases those companies provide money to content creators to produce the shows, not
