Let me brush off my marketing degree….This is how a business loses its foundation 101. Silver started panicking and tried to appease a more casual fanbase. But all money ain’t good money. Now he’s stuck chasing gimmicks
It’d be like if Starbucks numbers went down; a smaller more vulnerable business would need to diversify and adopt new fads and trends. But someone of Starbucks (NBA) stature wouldn’t. The fix for them would be to improve the existing core offerings, get back to basics. Bc fads and trends will come and go but the core base is long term.
What silver is doing is like if Starbucks saw that bubble tea was the new wave so it made bubble tea the face. They’d make money off bubble tea short term but the bubble tea fad would pass then you’re stuck moving from fad to fad all the while you’re losing your core base that came to you for coffee
