Imagine a Marvel movie where the cameo changes based on your viewing history—available only on Disney+ because the AI model is proprietary. This is coming.

It isn’t all positive. The aggressive push for exclusive entertainment and media content has led to a problem consumers despise: fragmentation.
In 2015, The Office was on Netflix. Friends was on Netflix. South Park was on Hulu. Today, The Office is on Peacock (NBC), Friends is on Max (Warner), and South Park is split between Paramount+ and Max. To watch three legacy shows, a consumer needs three separate subscriptions.
This fatigue is causing a resurgence of piracy, which was supposed to be dead. When content is too fragmented, users return to illegal torrents and unauthorized streaming sites. Furthermore, "churn rates" (the rate at which customers cancel subscriptions) are rising. Consumers are learning to "subscribe, binge, cancel, repeat"—a behavior that undermines the very retention exclusive content was supposed to secure.
