This is a different conclusion from Rosen (1981), showing that even with advancements in media technology, in- equality can be decreased. Unlike the TV broadcasting era, the introduction of platforms has made the supply side of the entertainment market more efficient, addressing market failures. This process reduces wage inequality, highlighting the differences in the market structure between the TV broadcasting era and the platform era.
