News & Reviews:   monetization

Netflix has been pushing for a different take with its Netflix Games service, offering access to big titles like GTA. Unfortunately, few users play the 86 games on the platform. And Netflix clearly wants to make money from it, so there are plans for changes.

TikTok is now following the subscription trend by bringing one to its platform. After Instagram announced early testing of paid subscriptions, the popular short video app has also been discovered doing limited testing for a feature that will allow creators to charge their fans for exclusive content.

Instagram might start asking you for money soon in order to see your favourite influencers' posts. According to the app's App Store listing, the platform will move away from conventional ads for monetization and launch subscriptions as "different ways to facilitate a financial relationship between a fan and a creator."
