> For example, with Justin TV/ Twitch TV they were "too early" because 4G internet was not ubiquitous, and most average people could not even consume their streams.
I don't think people were ready for this either. In the early 2000s, it was still weird to hang out in forums, for example.
It took an evolutionary-styled journey to normalise live video feeds. Instagram rolled out this feature only recently, once their users are used to the idea of sharing and crave for more ways to do so.
But I also wonder if these "too early" failures are actually necessary to prepare the consumer's mind to the idea, so that next time, they're much more open to it. And, it helps that the next iteration is most certainly improved and more considerate of the human psyche..
"Justin TV" sounds like a narcissist experiment. "Instagram Stories"? You're not a 'voyeur' if this is a standard feature and everyone's using it ;)
