## Resource

Netflix buying Warner Bros. Discovery could reshape streaming overnight—what happens to Max, HBO, and your subscription price if consolidation keeps accelerating? In this episode, JP breaks down the reported Netflix–Warner Bros. deal, explains how YouTube Shorts can damage long-form reach by attracting “doom-scroll” subscribers who don’t click regular uploads (crashing impressions and views), and asks the Gang a simple question: is the Paramount+ app on Fire TV slow and clunky for you too? Expect sharp takes, creator survival lessons, and a quick check-in on the streaming experience viewers are stuck with as platforms get bigger and messier.
