People aren't familiar with this, so we're not going to give them the chance to become familiar with it.

I love how often that same line of "thought" is and has been used just in my lifetime. We are told that the best "feature" of capitalism is about supposedly having so many choices because of competition and all that. While at the same time we are just never even told of any potential or existing options. Also used as an excuse to keep things from other places away from us. All because someone in a corp somewhere at some points in time keep claiming that "Americans just can't possibly understand something". Which also re-enforces the culture of praising ignorance and just always assuming we are correct and nothing is better (or allowed in some cases where we missed some cool tech). I know the real point is because they don't want to provide choices. But shit is a broken record for us not know of or be able to use other options.

Eddy Cue sounds like the name of a "Are ya triggered?" Youtube comedian who dreams of getting a Netflix contract.

and multiple streaming services have taken legal action to stop him from pitching his "Right On Cue" special to them

"Right On Cue"

I hope we aren't lathing this into existence.

This just means it's time to invent a network effect for breakfast cereals.
