The launch of 'Earle Meets World' signals Netflix's strategy to integrate social media personalities into its long-form content library. By documenting the 'business empire' of a TikTok star, the platform is betting that the parasocial relationships formed on social media can be converted into consistent streaming viewership, while simultaneously validating the influencer career path as a legitimate entrepreneurial venture.
