Somewhere in America right now, a household is staring at five streaming subscriptions, a $26.99 Netflix bill, and a decision about which one to cancel this month. They're not alone — 47% of streaming households plan to drop at least one service in 2026.

Hollywood's response? Get bigger. Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery just closed a $110 billion merger. Netflix raised its top tier for the second time in twelve months. Both moves rest on the same bet: that American households will keep paying more for entertainment, indefinitely.

The data says otherwise. Sooth's analysis of 220 million US adults breaks the streaming audience into five distinct tribes, and the Paramount-WB deal connects with only one of them.

The platform that serves all five? It isn't part of the deal. It's free. And it's already the most-watched destination on American televisions.

What if the data behind your last million-dollar decision was wrong?

Most CMOs would say it isn't. The numbers say otherwise — 70% of consumer data fails accuracy tests, AI consumer intelligence hallucinates 94% of the time, and 80%+ of media spend never returns a sale. Yet 85% of CMOs still trust their dashboards.

Sooth Founder & CEO Ian Baer is heading to The Biltmore in Miami on May 19–20 to moderate a roundtable at the 35th Transformational CMO Assembly with The Millennium Alliance.

The conversation: the three lies data tells — false correlation, presumed attribution, and inherited narrative — and the questions every CMO should be asking before the next budget cycle.

$471 billion spent. Forty-two percent of projects abandoned. A single hallucinated chatbot response wiping $100 billion off Google's market cap in a matter of hours.

The first wave of corporate AI spending didn't fail because the technology was broken — it failed because most companies asked the wrong question. They asked what they could do faster and cheaper, rather than what they were getting wrong in the first place.

In 2026, five companies alone are pouring $700 billion more into AI. The leaders who get the second wave right won't be the ones who automate the most. They'll be the ones who use AI to see what they couldn't see before, and act on it.
