I would try to watch the show if it didn't have that quack Gwyneth Paltrow.
Alba is also a hack, although I can't criticize her too much. Inexplicably, she has created a company and grown her net worth into the $300M+ range. Absolutely incredible for someone so seemingly daft, but she did it.I would try to watch the show if it didn't have that quack Gwyneth Paltrow.

I personally can't stand listening to her...unbelievably disingenuous.

This is spot on. Who is this guy? I literally do not know what he does or who he is. And I've seen him speak! He gives the impression that he is a godsend for marketing when in fact he is just an annoying self-promoter.
No, I wouldn’t say that’s the case but those in target demographic that actually discovered and watched the show was way too small. And that was in part due to the poor decisions detailed in this article. This notion that the target demographic is too small has come from those that follow tech, including many people on this forum, having no interest in the show.Or that target demo was just too small. I can only speak for myself (crazy on the internet, I know), but I had no interest in the show, I thought the cringeworthy name telegraphed even lower expectations, and it didn't matter who was starring in it. The marketing had no effect either way.
I am looking forward to some of the other announced shows, however, especially Foundation.
Idea for a television programme...
People send in videos of all the hilariously stupid replies Siri gives. It would be an instant hit!
Youth Hosteling with Chris Eubank?
Monkey Tennis?
He wanted better Marketing? Even Netflix does very minimal marketing and normally only on shows that have already “made it”, using the show to market and grow Netflix, not Netflix to market the show. Some of the best shows on there are ones I heard nothing about, but they drew me in once I started watching. Then I told all my friends; “you’ve gotta watch XYZ”.
I tried one episode of “Planet of the Apps”. Definitely didn’t “draw me in” and I sure as heck didn’t tell any friends that they should check it out. Marketing was not this show’s problem.
So his marketing is a success then?Wienerchuck literally gets money for ********ting people. I hate that guy.
This person gets it.The show failed because:
Gary Vaynerchuk is annoying. Nobody can figure out what he does or why he thinks he is the man. Whenever his videos come up on social media I just hit the 'Report' button and choose the 'Spam' or 'Scam' option.
Gwyneth Paltrow is privileged out-of-touch rich chick who used her fame to build a brand that defrauds women and encourages women to be stupid by selling complete quackery like Jade Eggs to strengthen their vaginas.
Same as above with Jessica Alba. So far this casting is a disaster and would offend most real entrepreneurs who had no fame and worked to the bone from poverty.
Then we add Will.I.Am to the mix. Overexposed, overrated, overpaid, and has an annoying name.
The only way this show could have been a bigger failure would be to add Ashton Kutcher to the mix.
Because Apple needs to launch its paid video service. They used Apple Music as the paywall because that’s all they have at the moment.Well for one thing it seems utterly stupid and random to stream tv shows on Apple MUSIC. Sort of the same reason I am impressed that original shows are still a thing on YouTube but at least that is actually about videos I guess
As a developer, I was interested in seeing the developer-side to others and their teams. I wanted to nerd out a little bit. There was just about none of that. Then you have the panel judges - and I always wondered why they picked who they did. Zero connection to any of them... in fact I never got over wondering why anyone would listen to these people - let alone an audience. They needed some people with more tread on the road. Not just marketing stuff, but development & idea people.
It was a snooze fest. The format was weird (even Shark Tank is boring at times). I tried to get into it. I just couldn't.
