Oh thank you so much for answering. Here is the link archive one:

Thank you, babe. I agree that I think it's a good article, but I think this situation is unsurprising.
I said from the start that if they couldn't compete with Will and Kate, I felt they wouldn't be able to compete in a bigger bowl against A listers. The article mentions several fringe issues in this situation which are a factor: the streaming platforms situation, covid, etc. But I still think they do not have 1. the *it* factor and 2. I feel they were not ready to be producers and develop shows. I think I'm not the only one who felt from the start that the only thing they could offer is their own lives. And it's not even their lives itself what people would care about, IMO. It's just particular parts of it. I think the only thing left at this point is Meghan's memoir, but after that? IDK.
In a way, they may have been somewhat honest when they said these deals weren't planned, IMO. I'll explain. I think it's a possibility that they didn't plan to have to produce their stuff. And while the streaming services situation was mentioned I think in a way, they may not have been handed these type of deals nowadays; particularly, the netflix one. Maybe one strictly about individual projects, but that's it. I think at that point Archewell didn't even have an structure to begin with, they had no experience as producers and nowadays the services seem to be more picky.
Feel free to send more questions if you want!
