Streaming platforms employ various revenue models to generate income:
Subscription-Based Model: Users pay a recurring fee, usually monthly or annually, to access the service. Examples include Netflix and Disney+. Ad-Supported Model: Content is free for users, but they must watch or listen to ads. YouTube and Spotify offer versions of this model. Freemium Model: Basic services are free, but advanced features require a paid subscription. Spotify and LinkedIn Learning use this model. Pay-Per-View: Users pay for individual pieces of content. This is common in live sports streaming and event broadcasting.
