Both Washington and Michigan pulled off dramatic victories in the semifinals. The Huskies stopped the Texas Longhorns on the final play to win the 2024 Sugar Bowl. The Wolverines needed a goal-line stand to prevail over the Alabama Crimson Tide in the 2024 Rose Bowl. Both universities are searching for their first College Football Playoff National Championship.

Netflix has spent years telling the entertainment industry that binge-worthy originals and a simple user experience were enough to stay ahead. That strategy helped make it the world's biggest streaming service. But according to a Wall Street Journal report, the company is increasingly concerned about a different metric: engagement.

While Netflix continues to post healthy profits and retains one of the lowest subscriber cancellation rates in the industry, executives are reportedly seeing early signs that people are spending less time watching content. That matters because engagement - not just subscriber numbers - has become one of the biggest indicators of whether customers will stick around, watch ads, and continue paying for the service.

Microdramas are booming, and Character.AI is turning it into a two-way obsession
Watch an AI microdrama, then interrogate the characters yourself
Character.AI AI Microdramas Featured

Microdramas have already conquered the tiny vertical screen. Character.AI wants to make the experience even more immersive. The chatbot platform has launched c.ai Series, a collection of original, mobile-first microdramas created by its in-house studio. Each show consists of bite-sized vertical episodes, although watching is only half the experience. Viewers can also chat directly with the characters afterwards, revisit moments from the story, explore relationships, or begin entirely new storylines.

It is the latest attempt to blend streaming with audience participation. Netflix recently took another route with Unhinged, a horror game that turns a viewer’s phone into a controller and allows them to call during gameplay. Meanwhile, Character.AI is bringing interactivity into the fiction itself by keeping its characters available long after an episode ends.
