    RECEIPT #BEN-TH

    JAN 01, 2024

    Called it.

    PREDICTION BY

    Ben Thompson
    In a world of infinite content, everything 'live' will become more valuable. Shared experiences, face-to-face classrooms, sports events—these collective experiences that cannot be personalized by AI will be where future premiums lie.

    FOLLOW-UP

    By mid-2026, the value of live, shared experiences, especially in sports and entertainment, has indeed continued to escalate. Sports rights fees and brand sponsorship for live events have increased significantly, and even education emphasizes live, cohort-based learning, supporting Thompson's prediction that "everything 'live' will become more valuable" in an era of abundant AI-generated content.

    PREDICTION BY

    Scott Galloway
    Bar one door, and the wolf shows up at the next. We tend to focus on competition between similar products, i.e. Netflix vs. Disney, Spotify vs. Apple Music. But entertainment is one market, the market for attention, and one platform is ahead of everyone else in harvesting the commodity: TikTok. … 2024 is the year we’ll see TikTok take share from streamers.

    FOLLOW-UP

    This 'attention market' framing has been reflected in how marketers allocate cross-platform video and creator budgets, with TikTok being benchmarked against CTV and traditional streaming. Both Netflix and Spotify expanded ad-supported models, demonstrating competition for overlapping ad dollars and attention, aligning with the prediction.
