It is not just radio, television and theatres: THE RISE OF OTT

OTT platforms taking advantage of the pandemic

The pandemic made workers and employees adapt to remote working, changing work patterns and shifts. Additionally, as people looked for different sources of entertainment during lockdowns, the biggest and most used sources were OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, disney+, HBO, among others.

The increase in internet service providers, networks, smartphones, and technological updates has given rise to these platforms, allowing users to stream videos online.
