The rise of the "Creator Economy" has turned audiences into active participants.

One of the defining characteristics of modern popular media is the erosion of the line between producer and consumer. In the broadcast era, the relationship was unidirectional: the network broadcasted, and the viewer received. Today, the relationship is participatory. The rise of the "Creator Economy" has turned
