What's genuine and non-genuine in those kind of business decisions though?
It's not like the CEO (or worse MBA team) running the show is actually "passionate" about redefining Playboy, making its mark on the publishing industry, etc.
I see more as "let's throw this idea to the wall to see if it sticks and makes money" attempt, more than anything "genuine".
Most business decisions (and most decisions) are made on some other basis than passion, nothing wrong with that.
Yeah, that makes sense.

Well, I prefer it to be the other way. And I could trace most issues with QA, scams, etc, on that. If they don't love and take pride in what they sell, they shouldn't sell it.
Many business loved by their owners have been destroyed because of emotional attachments to business models that someone just as passionate but more rational could have saved.
