The reason I didn't include Apple is because the others all have very affordable stick options. Apple is another price range. And unlike Android, they won't become pre-integrated into any TVs.
Why is #Roku any better than #Google's Chromecast or #Amazon Fire TV Stick? I've never used Roku but the I have the other two. The Fire TV Stick was far superior in my opinion, with it's dedicated voice remote. Especially if you are deeply integrated into the Amazon Echo system.
But more recently Google seems to be winning out by having it's technology already integrated into far more TV sets. Why do you think Roku will win out in the end?
Sounds like an interesting read. But it doesn't sound like it answers the deeper questions. For example, I agree that #Apple creates a form of lust in it's loyal customers, to, as you said, "driving them to pay irrational prices when there are essentially identical products available from competitors at far lower prices." But HOW has Apple achieved this?
Yes, #Amazon has built itself up from an upstart book seller, to essentially being able to provide for every aspect of our lives. but HOW did they manage to achieve this? Every other book seller is now either still just selling books, or out of business all together.

Interesting article @[Mish Shedlock](user:5141). But why does it matter? Virtually every store from pharmacies to supermarkets sell their own brand of discounted, comparable products.
And I wonder... how many Amazon Basic products does #Amazon sell as a percentage of it's total product offering? I suspect Amazon offers a far smaller percentage than their brick and mortar counterparts. $AMZN

I of course agree, but I do think that Galloway's explanations for that success sounds far too simplistic.
