CuriosityStream boosts revenue by licensing IP to train LLMs

The eighth annual Parks Associates “Future of Video” event this week featured a roster of executive decision makers from across the video business, mostly describing a maturing streaming industry grappling with questionable consumer confidence, lagging progress on search and recommendation, and ongoing concerns about churn. 

Dallas-based research company Parks Associates kicked off its three-day B2B conference by keynoting its 76-page “State of Streaming” report — a deep dive into the economic trends facing the industry.

Polling more than 8,000 U.S. adults on their spending expectations, Parks found consumers anticipating price increases on staples like groceries and household supplies. But the populace was evenly split on whether they’ll be spending more or less on things like streaming video or gaming.

Parks’ data did show that, after a period of streaming spending recession, the average number of subscription services used per household, and the amount being spent on them, was back up in Q3.
