That era is over.
The internet changed that dynamic permanently.
We see this in streaming:
The proliferation of streaming services has revolutionized the way we consume entertainment content. Platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and Hulu have made it possible for audiences to access a vast library of content from anywhere, at any time. These services have not only changed the way we watch movies and TV shows but have also created new opportunities for content creators to produce original and engaging content.
