Part 8/14:
Hollywood Stars’ Transition to Digital Content
A key insight from Neon is the increasing movement of established Hollywood stars and media personalities towards YouTube and digital content. Big names like Jimmy Kimmel or Bill Co and others are reportedly exploring or transitioning into YouTube and podcasting, signaling Hollywood’s recognition that digital platforms are the new power centers for entertainment.
This shift reflects a broader industry pattern: content creators and celebrities alike are flocking to YouTube, not just for direct distribution but to participate in the lucrative creator economy. Neon cautions that this could further consolidate power within Hollywood's orbit, making it harder for independent creators to thrive.
