Perhaps the most radical change in the last five years has been the elevation of User-Generated Content to the throne of pop culture. Platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram Reels have democratized production. You no longer need a $100 million budget to reach a billion people; you need a smartphone and a clever hook.
