The fact that the last sentence begins with "The problem..." makes think "walk out the door" is not a positive consequence. What do you think?

Thank You very much.
I'm just sharing my 2 cents --

This is confusing to me too in that it's difficult to determine to whom the paragraph is referring as "you." The best sense that I can make of it is that the producers of content may have a big hit (in the good sense) and then they leave the company for greater ambition (or with a windfall from their great success) with the company having lost its most talented content producer.

I don't get the sense that the big hit mentioned in the paragraph is a negative financial hint, but I'd agree with the moderators that the sentiment is really hard to follow.
