The streaming services are increasingly aware that the machines have won and the humans have lost.
Welcome to World Business Report from the BBC World Service.

Streaming has reshaped how we watch, listen and spend our money.
So today we're looking at what the shift means for film, television and music.
From Netflix taking stranger things to the cinema to MTV closing some of their channels across Europe.
So nearly 10 years after it first appeared on Netflix, Stranger Things is coming to an end.
The show helped shape global culture from fashion to music.
Now, in its final ever episode on New Year's Eve, Netflix is doing something very unexpected,
showing it in 500 movie venues across the US and Canada as well as on its streaming platform.
So why is a company built on disrupting cinemas now embracing them?

He'll be with us throughout the show.
Tom Noonan is the founder of Bullseye Entertainment.
He won the Oscar for the best picture in 2006 for Crash.
He joins us from Los Angeles.
