## Resource

The real Streaming War isn’t between platforms — it’s for your attention. This episode breaks down how modern algorithms, autoplay loops, and endless content catalogs overwhelm viewers and creators alike. With insights from psychology, sci-fi metaphors, and hit shows like Severance, Stranger Things, Fallout, and The Orville, we explore why decision paralysis is now a feature, not a bug. If you’ve ever opened a streaming app and felt instantly exhausted, this deep dive into the attention economy reveals why it’s happening and what it means for the future of entertainment.
