In this episode of The Media Odyssey podcast, Evan Shapiro and Marion Ranchet dive into the frustrating user experience of streaming platforms and the growing crisis in content discoverability. With insights on interface design, consumer behavior, and the rise of super apps, Marion and Evan explore how platforms like Roku and Amazon are the new gold standard in the entertainment landscape. In a very special segment, guest Calle Sjönell introduces Swipefinder, a Tinder-style app that helps users find what to watch faster—while unlocking new monetization opportunities for streamers.
