How Getting Everything We Wanted Changed Entertainment Forever

About this book

Streaming didn't just change what we watch. It changed who holds the power in entertainment.

Streaming Wars reveals how platforms like Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+, Spotify and Amazon Prime have transformed more than just entertainment. They've rewritten the rules of streaming services, media economics, power and visibility. Journalist Charlotte Henry explores what's really going on behind your screen, from Hollywood's 2023 strikes to the rise of ad-supported tiers, the global race for live sports and the slow fade of traditional TV.

With a sharp, accessible lens, Henry breaks down how AI, rebundling and fierce platform competition are driving a new era of streaming and why this shift matters now. Perfect for anyone who wants to understand how streaming is reshaping culture, business and what we watch.

Themes include: streaming disruption, media economics, cultural visibility, platform competition, Hollywood strikes, the future of entertainment
