Ad-supported Streaming Services
Ad-supported streaming services are platforms that allow users to watch videos, shows, or movies for free or at a lower cost, funded by advertisements. Instead of paying a subscription fee, viewers engage with periodic ads during their content. This model offers access to diverse programming while allowing advertisers to reach a broad audience. Examples include platforms like Peacock, Tubi, and Pluto TV. While these services are often free or cheaper than subscription-based services, users typically experience interruptions from commercials throughout their viewing experience.
