Well, Netflix did claim at one time that their goal was to offer the ability for anyone to stream any movie ever created. So I guess I'm "butt-hurt" (/s, not really, I rarely believe these people's claimed goals) that some executive made a promise that they did not keep.

What's the better option?
Don't make promises you know you can't or won't keep.

Edit: To clarify, the above is advice for execs and marketing types. Alternatively, as a listener, don't believe any marketing you read.
