The battle of platforms is escalating. Spotify and Apple rely on video, while YouTube and Netflix push into podcasts. What started as a side medium is evolving into a multimedia entertainment ecosystem – from viral TikTok clips to live shows before thousands. In 2026, the balance of power shifts: new distribution logics, shorter attention spans, growing AI influence. Bastienne and Florian show you the mechanics behind this shift: why 'just video' is not a strategy, what creators learn from the 'Späti principle', and whether AI hosts will take over the mics.
