This dynamic exploded with the advent of streaming platforms. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, and Disney+ have turned exclusive content into their primary competitive weapon. The resulting “Streaming Wars” have produced an unprecedented volume of content, but more importantly, they have fragmented the cultural commons. A watercooler show today—be it Stranger Things , The Mandalorian , or Ted Lasso —is not a shared experience but a siloed one. Each platform builds a walled garden of intellectual property (IP), and to enter all the gardens, a viewer must pay a growing sum of subscriptions. Consequently, “having access” has replaced “having a ticket” as the key to participating in the cultural conversation. The fear of missing out (FOMO) is monetized, driving both subscriptions and a new form of social currency based on which exclusive worlds one can navigate.
