Just finished THE YOUTUBE EFFECT (now on Kanopy) and this NEEDS to be required “Media Literacy” material. An informative and genuinely upsetting look at how big tech has shaped the world… maybe even reality itself. Highest of recommendations.

"The industry has changed," says @YouTubeEffect Director @Winter about the entertainment industry. "There's been a rapidly advancing...shrinkage of the moviegoing audience as a result of the rise of streaming technology and a lot of the storytelling going to TV."
