Welcome to Entertainment + Tech
Welcome to Entertainment + Tech by me, Matt Susskind.
Tech has often been about scale & platforms. Entertainment has often been about unique, curated risks. In some ways, the overlap has opened up incredible doors, like enabling new types of content and revitalizing others. In some ways, it’s caused major issues, encouraging races to the bottom and a massive amount of noise.
Each week, Entertainment + Tech will explore some changing facet of the industry. Here are some teasers for upcoming issues:
How the design of distribution platforms changes content
How changing economics has shifted the content landscape
The narrowing gap between social media & entertainment, influencer & celebrity
How platforms can provide access to new creators
The goal is that it serves as the starting point for a conversation, giving you a foothold on some interesting ideas that you can build off of yourself.
I’d love to see more tech people dive into a deeper understanding of entertainment. We need more people who stand in both worlds if we’re going to build great products & create great content.
