Prediction three: The next phase of streaming isn't ad-free or ad-supported. It is you -supported. Spotify’s AI DJ is the prototype. Your Netflix feed will soon be unique to you, assembled by an AI that knows your mood better than your spouse. It will generate a playlist of clips from The Office , a scene from an obscure K-drama, and a recap of the baseball game, all in a seamless scroll. It won't be television. It will be a mirror. The Takeaway We are tired. We are overwhelmed. We have 40,000 hours of new "content" produced every single day, and we are using that bounty to rewatch The Office for the fifth time.

And crucially, we are no longer loyal. In the 90s, NBC could rely on a Friends audience. Today, your favorite show is cancelled before you finish the season premiere. a27hopsonxxx
