Impact of streaming platforms on the homogenization and diversification of tastes on a global scale
Open accessAbstract
The growth of digital streaming platforms has profoundly transformed patterns of cultural consumption on a global scale. On-demand video and music services have facilitated access to a wide diversity of audiovisual content, reducing the geographical and linguistic barriers that historically limited cultural circulation. However, academic literature has highlighted a central debate: while some studies argue that these platforms promote cultural diversification through exposure to international content, others contend that they contribute to the homogenization of cultural tastes by privileging dominant content and recommendation algorithms based on popularity. The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of streaming platforms on the shaping of global cultural preferences, simultaneously evaluating the processes of homogenization and diversification. Methodologically, a mixed approach was developed combining bibliometric analysis of literature indexed in Scopus, content analysis of streaming platform catalogs, and a comparative model of cultural consumption in different regions. The results indicate that streaming platforms generate a dual phenomenon: on one hand, they facilitate the global dissemination of dominant productions, especially those from consolidated cultural industries; on the other, they expand access to local and regional content, promoting processes of "cultural glocalization." The findings suggest that the platforms' recommendation algorithms and original production strategies play a key role in shaping these processes. In conclusion, streaming does not produce solely cultural homogenization nor absolute diversification, but rather a hybrid reconfiguration of the global cultural ecosystem characterized by the coexistence of global trends and specialized cultural niches.

TL;DR
This study argues that streaming platforms drive neither pure cultural homogenization nor absolute diversification, but a hybrid "glocalized" reconfiguration of global cultural tastes. Combining a Scopus literature review, catalog analysis of five platforms, and cross-regional consumption data, it finds persistent North American dominance alongside rising consumption diversity and local production growth.
Key findings
- Platform catalogs remain concentrated in consolidated cultural industries: North America accounts for 38% of catalog content, followed by Europe (21%), Asia (18%), Latin America (14%), Africa (5%), and Oceania (4%).
- Cultural consumption diversity rose steadily, from an average of 3 countries of origin consumed per user in 2016 to 11 in 2024 (5 in 2018, 7 in 2020, 9 in 2022).
- Algorithmic recommendation is the largest influence on consumption decisions at 45%, ahead of global trends/rankings (30%) and social recommendations (25%); the paper states "almost half of cultural consumption decisions" are algorithmically influenced.
- Local (non-US) original productions on major platforms grew from 45 in 2016 to 610 in 2024 (120 in 2018, 260 in 2020, 420 in 2022), which the paper reads as decentralized production strategy and cultural glocalization.
Methods
- Mixed-methods design in three phases: a systematic literature review, a comparative analysis of platform content catalogs, and an analysis of cross-regional cultural consumption patterns.
- Phase 1 searched Scopus using keywords including streaming platforms, digital media consumption, cultural globalization, cultural diversity, algorithmic recommendation, and global media industries, selecting 120 articles published 2015–2024 for thematic content analysis.
- Phase 2 compared catalogs of five internationally present platforms (Netflix, Spotify, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube) on geographical origin, thematic/genre diversity, and regional original production; Phase 3 used digital cultural consumption reports, content rankings, and industry reports, analyzed via bibliometric analysis, content analysis, and descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages, cross-regional comparisons), with triangulation for validation.
Limitations
- Stated by the paper: restricted access to proprietary data on platform recommendation algorithms and user behavior; reliance on aggregate geographical data for cultural diversity analysis; and the rapid evolution of the digital ecosystem, requiring longitudinal studies.
- Evident from the text: results are reported only descriptively (frequencies, percentages, cross-regional comparisons) with no inferential testing; the catalog analysis date and coding procedures are not fully specified; and the study does not examine audience reception, which the authors themselves flag as a direction for future research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
