    Precisely. They used to make better products than they do now.

    The problems with their products got worse generation on generation. Their older products were more reliable.

      And let’s not forget- don’t listen to customers.

      Do customers want a ‘Hero 47’ camera with a new one every year? Nope.
      Do customers want to be pushed into a paid cloud video storage and editing system that can’t handle the camera’s full resolution? Nope.
      Do customers want a reliable camera that has good battery life, doesn’t overheat or crash, and generally works as advertised? YES THEY DO!

      So what should we do? Let’s release a new camera every year, with the same overheating and firmware bugs, and push people into a phone based video platform.

      Now we don’t understand why Insta is doing so well…

      Same as it ever was. Line must go up.
      1- make good product, make money
      2 - make product worse/charge for standard features
      3 - cripple existing products, force people to buy new version
