Facebook Pays Media Companies to Stream Live Video
That's one way to make a product succeed.
Facebook wants people using its relatively new live streaming feature (Facebook Live) so much that it’s paying media companies to produce content.
According to Re/code, Facebook is giving The New York Times, BuzzFeed, The Huffington Post, and other media outlets cash in exchange for Facebook Live content.
“We’re working with a few partners, and in some of the cases that includes a financial incentive,” Fidji Simo, Facebook Live’s product director, told Re/code.
Facebook wants Facebook Live to succeed, so prepare yourself to see a lot more live video in your feed.
