Streaming’s Death Spiral

The Netflix logo, lost in a stock image of a ‘wasteland’

I’m a fan of Kara Swisher, the host of the New York Time’s Sway podcast (about tech and leadership and futurology), who has a rather no-nonsense approach to the way the digital media landscape is shaping up. In a way, she’s sort-of the anti-Joe Rogan in this area: where he is wildly credulous and optimistic, Swisher is more grounded and pessimistic. Like me, which is perhaps why her analysis appeals more to me than his.
