    Oh, bundling. I thought societies were pleased to get rid of cable bundling, why is it coming back?

      Because Netflix didn’t dismantle the capitalism machine.

      Capitalism can never fully disrupt itself. It’s always cyclical. If bundling eventually made it more money, then it will eventually return. If the response to that is to innovate something that gets around that form of bundling, then that “disrupts” the market, in the short term, only for the market to settle back to bundles.

      Because as long as the idea makes more money in a capitalistic society, it will never die.
