The multimedia is dominated by a handful of firms and provides massive barriers of entry. These firms include Spotify, Youtube, Amazon and SoundCloud. A media landscape does not just reflect the world it operates in, but also through how it behaves, adapts, and transforms. And when our world is moving as rapidly as it is now, our media mirrors these shifts. The shift in the media industry can occur if you mix all these giant firms like Spotify and SoundCloud into one. So what happens when you mix all of them together into one? Mark Cuban-backed, blockchain multimedia platform, Current Media is aiming to do just that.
Consumers’ love of video and audio content on their terms continues to dominate their spending habits over the next 5 years. With such a huge market, in 2021 consumers will spend more on video content than cinema admissions as “Netflix and chill” and binge watching content continues to shape viewing habits. Now what would happen if you get rewarded for binge watching the next Game of Thrones season or listening to the latest Beyonce soundtracks on repeat. Here comes the Current (Pardon the pun!)
Users will not only have a more streamlined media-consumption experience, but they will also be rewarded for their daily music or video habits. Rewards are given not only to customers for streaming preferred content through Current, but also to content creators and curators who are presented with CRNC tokens when their work gains popularity.
Problems & Solutions
Eventually, both consumers and creators are not gaining the true value of the multimedia platform. Consumers miss out on great content and if they do get to watch something good, they just waste time and don’t get rewarded for it. Creators on the other hand have to truly create a unique and captivating content to attract consumers — especially ones with low budgets. So much that they tend to use clickbait titles or tags which gives the content a negative review. These are just some of the problems faced by the current multimedia market.
So to solve this Current awards consumers for watching great content and all of them in one place while Creators benefit from good income with bigger exposure and distribution.
