In this way, educators are using live video streaming to enrich their lesson plans and establish a more effective interaction with their students, which could also bring in potential viewers and financial gains. As an example, ProsperityForAll, a U.S.-based online learning platform and course supplier, reported in January 2023 that the penetration rate of online learning platforms in 2020 was at 6.8%, and it surged to 9.9% in 2022. Therefore, the accelerating e-learning adoption is stimulating the growth of the live-streaming pay-per-view market.
