The landscape of entertainment and media content has undergone a seismic shift over the past two decades, moving from a broadcast model (one-to-many) to a participatory, algorithmic model (many-to-one). This paper examines the dual forces of personalization (AI-driven recommendations) and platformization (the dominance of streaming and social media structures) on content production, distribution, and consumption.
