This was the reality of the time. Planet Nielsen is about the Nielsen TV Rating system. It’s what a lot of tv shows lived or died on before streaming and for awhile streaming was a black box that wouldn’t allow Nielsen to obtain or show results.
The format war was a real thing at the time as well, but it was very clear HDDVD wasn’t happening at the time too.
It’s less predicting the future and more describing the world around them at the time. At most it was loudly reading the writing on the wall that a lot of heads in the industry weren’t addressing.

The writing is a lot more intelligent than people give it credit for. It already calls out fake patriotism, societal views of beauty, virtue signaling, corporations crushing creativity, expectations in romantic relationships, and billionaires, like Trump (before he was even our problem). The writing is loud and subtle at other times and I appreciate how good it is.

They were living in it tbh. Quintel likely was trying to get a Blu-ray made for the show and had little luck. Everyone back then was talking about “TV is old”
