How to read this sector

Look at the relationship between audiences, creators and advertisers. A social platform, a discussion community and a video platform can all carry entertainment while having different content, moderation and monetisation models. Advertising, subscriptions, data licensing and commerce should be considered separately where they are part of the business. Several platforms sit inside larger listed groups, so company performance includes activities beyond their entertainment products. The profiles identify that parent-company scope. The Index does not measure a creator's earnings or the popularity of an individual service, and the roster is not an exhaustive map of digital entertainment.
