It’s should be noted that the demand for streaming industry has been hit with dwindling revenues and practically zero profit. An average streaming services lose about $1.5billion every year. Content creators also on these platforms are usually not compensated fairly. This requires a functional solution which will benefit all actors in the digital content distribution and monetization ecosystem.

It should also be noted that for a long time now, application developers and content creators factually gain little or nothing from creating content and developing application for users and in the case where they does it’s close to been nothing having anything. Application developers and content creators uses the ad model as a means of monetizing their content. Users are given free access to content in exchange for viewing ads. These ads are interruptive in nature and impact negatively on overall user experience. Despite the poor experience users are still limited to how much they can access in an ad model scenario.

They (application developers and content creators) also uses the subscription model to monetize their content by charging users fee on a pay as you use or monthly basis. However, the expectations of this generation has changed, users now want things for free and any option that comes as such will be preferred by the user. Thus the subscription model is not bringing in the required revenue to make the provider profitable

To solve all the problem identified above the sleekplay platform combines the amount of time a typical users spends on their devices, the computational power of these devices and the power of blockchain computing to deliver a monetization model that is beneficial to the users, content creators and providers

The sleekplay also comes up with a platform that will give application developers a new way to monetize contents and offer users incentives for contributing the computational power of their devices. Users can now enjoy premium access, quality experience and unlimited content at virtually no cost whilst application developers generate revenue from the value of their user-driven contributions.

Long-session applications that engage users for many hours at a time, are prime beneficiaries of the sleekplay blockchain platform.
