Impact on the entertainment industry.

To understand where we are, we must look at where we began. For most of the 20th century, "popular media" was a monolith. In the United States, three major networks dictated what 90% of the country watched on a Thursday night. In film, a handful of studios controlled the silver screen. Entertainment content was scarce, curated, and shared—watercooler moments were organic because there were only a few watercoolers.

Entertainment will become bespoke—and utterly hollow.
