Ep. 3: Ryan Broderick & Julia Alexander “The Streaming Wars”

Buzzfeed Senior reporter Ryan Broderick, The Verge reporter Julia Alexander, and digital media culture expert Dr. Jamie Cohen take a deep dive into the ongoing battle between streaming companies like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+ as they battle for our attention, look at the consequences of what declining advertising rates mean for content creators on YouTube at a time when more people than ever are consuming content, and consider how human connection may fuel our interaction with digital platforms — and not the content itself.
