Los Angeles, CA - November 12th, 2025 - The entertainment industry is undergoing a seismic shift, with platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch rewriting the rules of success. In The Algorithm Always Wins: How YouTube, TikTok, and the Creator Economy Are Rewriting Hollywood’s Future, Emmy Award–winning producer and investment banker Philip Alberstat explores how algorithms are transforming content creation, financing, and audience expectations.
With over 25 years in media finance, film production, and M&A advisory, Alberstat bridges Hollywood and Wall Street to show how creators like MrBeast, generating over $50 million annually, and stars like Emma Chamberlain are outpacing legacy studios. While Netflix invests $17 billion in content yearly, algorithm-driven platforms empower creators to monetize attention directly.
“Algorithms have become the new gatekeepers of culture—shaping who creates, how content is funded, and which stories reach an audience,” says Alberstat. “This book equips creators, executives, and investors to thrive in this new era.
“The power has shifted from studios to systems. Understanding algorithms isn’t optional anymore, it’s the new language of success in entertainment.”
“Algorithms don’t just pick what we watch, they shape what gets made,” Alberstat notes. “To stay relevant, creators and investors must learn to read the signals hidden in the data.”
The Algorithm Always Wins offers:
-
A framework for blending traditional and creator-driven production models.
-
Insights on using data and analytics for content valuation and strategy.
-
Case studies of creators and studios adapting to the algorithmic age.
-
A forecast of AI, platform economics, and creator capitalism by 2030.
Alberstat’s unique perspective, combining production expertise with financial acumen, provides a clear playbook for navigating the future of entertainment.
