USD 250 Billion Industry
Everything You Need To Know About The Fast Growing Online Entertainment Industry

While Billions of users engage with online entertainment daily it's hard to provide an exact total number of users accessing NSFW (Not Safe For Work) platforms estimating it should be in total of Hundreds of Millions.
The way people consume entertainment has changed dramatically over the past decade. Traditional television, once the dominant form of home entertainment, has been steadily losing its grip on younger audiences.
While streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ once seemed like the ultimate disruptors, a new shift is emerging, one that prioritizes live interactions, short-form content and direct engagement with creators.
For decades, television was the primary source of entertainment for families. Cable subscriptions were considered a household staple, offering a mix of news, scripted series, and live sports. However, with the rise of digital platforms, audiences have increasingly turned to on-demand content that fits their schedules leading to a decline in subscriptions.
Streaming services revolutionized entertainment by offering consumers the ability to watch what they want, when they want. Netflix, which started as a DVD rental company, pioneered the subscription based streaming model, soon followed by competitors such as Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+.
While these platforms thrived for years, they are now facing competition from a growing trend of real-time and creator driven entertainment.
These changes also apply to the creation, distribution and consumption of NSFW entertainment which started to shift during the worldwide pandemic.
The Rise Of Live Content And Creator Economy
Younger generations, particularly Gen Z and Gen Alpha are shifting their attention from scripted series to live and interactive content. Platforms like YouTube, Twitch and TikTok have given rise to content creators who engage with their audiences in real time.
Podcasts, live streams and interactive Q&A sessions are now replacing traditional prime-time television slots. Instead of passively watching shows, audiences are actively participating in conversations, donating and tipping to creators and influencing content in real time.
Connected to the current Entertainment and Creator Industry exists an entire ecosystem of companies and individuals providing all types of products and services.
Social Media As An Entertainment Hub
Social media has blurred the lines between entertainment and everyday life.
For example TikTok's short-form video format has become a primary source of entertainment with viral challenges, meme culture and user generated content dominating the digital landscape.
Also Instagram, X (formerly known as Twitter) and Snapchat also serve as content distribution platforms where creators, influencers and media companies alike compete for user attention.
On average, people spend about 143 minutes (that's 2 hours and 23 minutes) on social media every day. That's almost 2.5 hours per day spent scrolling through different platforms. Teenagers are now the biggest users, especially teenage girls, who spend nearly 3 hours a day on social media.

The Future Of Entertainment: Personalization And Community Driven
As algorithms become more sophisticated, content consumption is becoming increasingly personalized. AI-driven recommendations, AI-generated content, interactive entertainment and virtual reality experiences are shaping the next phase of digital entertainment.
Additionally, blockchain powered platforms will emerge, allowing creators to monetize their content through tokenized ecosystems and decentralized fan engagement models.
The entertainment landscape is evolving faster than ever where traditional media companies must adapt or risk becoming obsolete.
As audiences continue to prioritize authenticity, engagement and real-time interaction, the future of entertainment will be shaped not just by studios and corporations but by the creators and communities that drive the digital revolution.
Entertainment Industry In Numbers
The term "creator economy" refers to the now-massive industry that’s made up of individuals using their talent, expertise, and unique personality to create content, build an audience online, and grow their own businesses.
There are many different types of creators, ranging from bloggers, video creators, and influencers, to course creators, podcasters, and even twitch streamers.
Apart from those that are producing content, the creator economy also includes brands that work with creators, as well as numerous platforms and startups that support their content and help them make money online.
Here are some impressive figures:
- There are 200 million creators worldwide
- The creator economy was worth USD 250 Billion in 2023
- The creator economy is expected to double in market size by 2030 to approximately USD 528.38 billion
- In 2023, brands spend a total of USD 6 billion on influencer marketing
- The global online entertainment market size was valued at USD 99.98 Billion in 2024 and is projected to grow from USD 111.30 billion in 2025 to USD 261.23 billion by 2032
How Will 247X Contribute To The Future Of Entertainment?
Through a tokenized approach we aim to reshape and redefine the entertainment and creator industry by creating a Tokenized Entertainment Ecosystem to connect and facilitate creators, brands, fans, subscribers, partners and investors with on-chain (live) entertainment, AI (artificial intelligence), content monetization, DeFi, investment and social community features.
We have created a solid roadmap for the upcoming 5 years to reach all our milestones to place 247X as an open foundation on the worldmap.
247X Token
Issue a crypto utility token for fans and creators through ICO (Initial Coin Offering) Token Sale Rounds which will be used as a default payment and payout method within and outside our ecosystem.
Investors can maximize their investments by participating during the 247X Utility Token ICO Token Sale Rounds.
All 247X token holders can apply in the near future for their personal 247X crypto debit card which comes along with the 247X mobile app to access and manage their funds.
247XE Equity
By tokenizing the company shares from our parent company we are able to give everyone the opportunity to participate and gain fractional company ownership.
Investors can participate and acquire equity during STO (Security Token Offering) Token Sale Rounds while other stakeholders within our ecosystem have the opportunity to earn equity based on their activities, achievements and performance.
Investors can maximize their investments by participating during the 247XE Equity Token ICO Token Sale Rounds.
Both 247X and 247XE tokens will be listed on Tier-1 Crypto Exchanges (both CEX and DEX).
RWA Staking
Investors can diversify and maximize their investment portfolio by participating in Staking RWA (Real-World-Assets) to get and obtain fractional ownership.
In the upcoming 5 years we aim to build up a functional real-estate portfolio (creator centers) worth €15,000,000 which will be connected onto the 247X Ecosystem.
RWA Stakeholders will receive annual rewards based on the performance of their stakes.
Once we have created proof of concept to create bandwidth and capacity, we will continue to launch more stakeable RWA assets that are related and interconnected to the 247X Ecosystem, the entertainment and creator industry.
Fan Community And Streaming Platform
Wide range of (live) entertainment, monetization, social networking and staking features for Subscribers, Fans, Creators, Brands, Partners and Investors.
In the upcoming years we will develop and roll out product sites www.247-fans.com (Fan community Platform), www.247-voyeur.com (Voyeur Streaming Platform) and www.247-live.com (NSFW Live Streaming Platform).
Within our own product sites we will gradually transform specific features to web3 which will be available for our target audience and partners.

247X offers its users attractive incentives to promote the 247X ecosystem, generate leads for 247X product sites, 247X ICO, 247XE STO token sale rounds and/or participate in RWA staking assets to generate passive income.
