“If it ain't that piece of paper, there's some other choice they're gonna try and make for you. Let me tell you this, the older you do get the more rules they're gonna try to get you to follow. You just gotta keep livin' man.” – Wooderson, “Dazed and Confused,” Gramercy Pictures, 1993
Finally … streaming video is changing and will become a new, better, more dynamic, more vital entertainment medium.
Yep, mark 2024 down on your calendar as the industry’s turning point.
This is the year – just in time for elections around the globe – that the industry created:
- The bundle
- Ads in/around movies/shows
- AI to make ads more real, more credible, more to your personal liking whatever that may be
Sure, you had a form of the bundle before, but the new bundles are less rigid on what you watch, when you watch it, where you watch it.
O.K., in fairness, we’re just getting started with the new bundles so, it will take time.
We know, you thought right after people signed up for Netflix and ran through the stuff they wanted to watch that they’d simply add another service … and another service … and another service.

Folks, just because Hollywood sneezes, the film/TV show industry doesn't have a cold.
Sure, the production of content for the big and small screen is "off" here in the US; but for all the right and wrong reasons, the industry did it to itself.
