🧪 Streaming Monetization Simulation

Interactive 3D model of how a live-streaming platform turns concurrent viewers into money: ad impressions, subscription conversions and the platform's revenue-share cut flow as animated coins into a streamer tank and a platform tank, with live hourly payout readouts.

A live-streaming channel's income comes from two independent pipelines that the platform runs in parallel and then splits with the broadcaster: ad impressions sold against concurrent viewers, and recurring subscriptions converted from a slice of that same audience. This simulator models both pipelines explicitly — concurrent viewers, ad CPM, subscription conversion rate and the streamer's revenue-share percentage all feed live hourly formulas — and renders the result as an animated 3D economy: viewers orbit a broadcast tower, ad and subscription coins fire off toward two rising tanks, and the tank levels track the real dollar split between streamer and platform second by second.

⚙ Under the hood

This simulation explores the complex dynamics of revenue generation within online streaming platforms. It demonstrates how factors like viewer engagement, content popularity, and advertising rates influence a streamer's income. The core principle involves understanding the economics of digital media distribution.
