In general, streaming platforms generate revenue from below sources, while utilizing a “free-to-use” model. Advertising -- digital advertising can include pre-roll clips on stream or throughout the platform website. A large majority of advertising revenue typically accrues to the platform directly. Subscriptions -- users can sign up for subscriptions that allow for improved viewing (i.e. ad-free) or increased interactivity (chat with streamers, emojis). For the platforms that offer subscriptions, the platforms typically receive a meaningful take rate. Donations & Virtual Gifts -- viewers may make donations and or virtual gifts to their favourite streamers, many times in an attempt to have their name called out on stream.
