I think it's a good analysis but honestly I just have to wonder who intuitively thought this was a good idea. Chopping up high quality content into small clips, having to watch them on a tiny phone screen and the only new feature is how you flip the phone? It already just sounds awful.

Agreed, its baffling, and I guess the latest results on their coversion rate (8% of those who participated in free trial) reflects exactly how little traction the idea actually found.
