On November 3, Zhang Chaoyang, founder of Sohu, chairman of the board of directors and CEO, said in an interview with the media at the 2026 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit that Sohu Video will restart its American drama strategy and introduce high-quality American dramas and movies. According to Zhang Chaoyang, algorithm distribution can efficiently meet users' content consumption needs, but it is easy to form an information cocoon, and users always consume content alone; the core of Sohu's video attention stream is “meeting friends through content,” and users establish connections between people through content. Paying attention to popular American dramas and American movies is a unique entity, and as a result, content and social networking form a two-way link.
