[KEY LECTURE CONTENTS]
The US video industry is now shifting from "competition in video distribution" to "competition for control of viewing pathways." YouTube has secured massive viewing hours, and TikTok has established an AI-driven "personalized curation model." Furthermore, Google, Amazon, and Netflix are integrating video, advertising, EC, and AI to build a new "life pathway infrastructure."
Their biggest goal is the vast amount of human behavioral data obtainable from these "pathways." Through media devices, they are beginning to transform "life time" itself into a massive data foundation. Particularly noteworthy is the rapid blurring of boundaries between video, live commerce, BaaS, and AI finance. The behavioral, purchasing, and payment data accumulated by Google and TikTok are evolving beyond mere advertising assets into core data supporting "next-generation finance."
The essence lies in a new industrial hegemony competition: "Who can predict, propose, and guide human behavior?"
This lecture will analyze the structural changes in the US video, advertising, and financial markets occurring after the end of Peak TV, and decipher:
- Why TV did not disappear
- Why video viewing data has begun to hold financial value
- Why AI-powered banks have started to enter the media domain
- Why Google, TikTok, and Amazon are emphasizing "pre-consumption and pre-payment behavior"
This is not merely a theory of media evolution. The competition over "viewing pathways" is swallowing finance, advertising, EC, and telecommunications, and is beginning to rewrite the "human behavioral data economy" itself.
