Token ring wasn't a better network, which is why Ethernet won. For the details, look up the comments in the YT video, which saves me a lot of typing here, but the biggest one was that every station on the network became a point of failure that would take down the whole ring.

One thing that I didn't see in there is what happens when you send a drop token (from memory, it's been a long time) command to the broadcast address: "The death of God left the angels in a strange position".
