Streaming Services

Streaming services refer to online platforms that allow users to access and watch audio and video content in real-time over the internet without the need to download files. These services typically offer a wide variety of media, including movies, television shows, music, and live broadcasts. Users can watch content on-demand, meaning they can select what they want to view at any time, rather than adhering to a scheduled programming format. Streaming services operate on a subscription model, providing access to their content libraries for a recurring fee, but can also offer free services supported by advertisements. Popular examples include Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and Spotify. The convenience of streaming services has significantly changed how audiences consume media, moving away from traditional cable and broadcasting methods.
