For decades, popular media was linear. You sat down at 8 PM to watch your favorite sitcom because the network schedule demanded it. You bought a physical album because streaming didn’t exist. You read a magazine because it was the only way to access celebrity news.

The internet changed the delivery mechanism, but the smartphone and high-speed broadband changed the behavior. The transition from appointment viewing to on-demand access redefined entertainment content. Netflix, originally a DVD-by-mail service, correctly predicted that consumers would abandon late fees for convenience. By 2013, with the release of House of Cards, Netflix proved that tech companies could not only distribute but also create award-winning popular media.

You were too beautiful for this world. The "Cancel Culture" (of TV shows) is brutal, though

For all its dynamism, the world of entertainment content and popular media faces existential challenges.
