NYU Professor Scott Galloway says that Los Angeles is about to become the 'land of the undead' as Amazon and other big tech take over the entertainment industry
Read Original Source
Jack Warner, a cofounder of Warner Bros., built an empire that birthed films including "Casablanca," "Batman," and "The Shining." Warner built a 13,600-sq.-ft. Georgian-style mansion in the 1930s, supposedly, and unlikely, with the wood floor that Napoleon was standing on when he proposed to Josephine. It was often the site for a who's who of the golden age of Hollywood, the archetypal studio mogul's estate.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Scott Galloway argues that Big Tech, led by Amazon and aided by its scale and distribution power, is taking over entertainment and could leave Los Angeles and Hollywood weaker.

- He argues Amazon’s flywheel of shopping, Prime, video, and ads gives it a strong edge over most entertainment companies.

- Galloway warns that big media and streaming firms may lose value over time, while Los Angeles could become a “land of the undead” for the industry.
