Tubi provides a free streaming service that allows users to watch a wide variety of movies and TV shows without any subscription fees. The platform operates on an ad-supported model, meaning that while users can access content for free, they will see advertisements during their viewing. This approach makes Tubi appealing to individuals who are looking for quality entertainment without the costs associated with services like Netflix or Hulu. Tubi's audience includes a diverse range of viewers, from young adults to older individuals, particularly those who prefer streaming over traditional cable TV. Currently, Tubi operates exclusively in the United States but is working on compliance with European data protection regulations to expand its services internationally. The company's goal is to provide accessible entertainment while generating revenue through advertising partnerships.
