Wang Fu's explanation made Bai Pu understand his purpose.
Videos on the Gaia Network fell into two categories: free and paid.
Free videos mainly served to promote advertisements and build popularity.
Paid videos naturally existed to earn money from viewers' "paid downloads"!
Free videos targeted the general public—the public here referred to Awakened with low-tier templates. For example, Bai Pu's previous disguised identity, "Spirit Planter Bai Yu Jing," was one of them. They could also be regarded as ordinary people of Blue Star.
Awakened with low-tier templates did not expect to ascend. That was far too distant.
They obtained Awakened templates merely for Storage Space, to learn a secondary profession, and to make a living from it.
Paid videos, on the other hand, targeted High-Level Awakened and top-tier Awakened who aspired to ascend! They were generally descendants cultivated by large and small families, as well as various organizations and factions.
By this point, the content of the paid videos was already obvious.
"You want me to release videos on 'True Intent cultivation'? Like Airalos, Sauron, Ye An, Zoras, and the others?"
Wang Fu nodded. "It's even better that you know them. Do you know how many Silver Dragon Coins Airalos earned just from releasing videos?"
Bai Pu calculated mentally. "A few hundred million, maybe?"
Wang Fu broke into a sweat. "N-No, not that exaggerated. Airalos, as the top download earner in recent years, did indeed generate several hundred million Silver Dragon Coins in profit. But Gaia Network takes seventy percent of that, and the remaining thirty percent has to be shared with the promotion team, video production team, and so on. In the end, Airalos probably received several tens of millions."
"Gaia Network takes seventy percent?" Bai Pu drew in a sharp breath. Monopolies really were outrageously profitable!
