“We’re seeing the dawn of the reconciliation of Hollywood with Silicon Valley, is the way I like to put it. In addition to Netflix maybe buying Warner Brothers…people [may] remember that Amazon bought MGM, which was another big Hollywood-Valley deal. I think that you’re going to see a lot of growth in the focus on streaming content for a lot of the big platform companies.”

Follow-up

The illustrative merger scenario (Netflix–Warner) did not occur, but Hollywood–Silicon Valley entanglement deepened through ongoing integration of tech-platform ownership and distribution of studio IP, and strategic alliances. Major platforms continued to treat streaming content as a central pillar, increasing investment in original programming and ad-supported tiers.
