Can I see what quality viewers actually received?

Analytics, Video Platform

How does a watchlist help us as an operator?

It gives returning viewers somewhere to land instead of an empty decision, which lifts repeat sessions. It is also a clean demand signal, because saving is deliberate. Titles that collect saves without being watched are usually telling you something about pricing, placement or availability.

Analytics, Content Management

How do I know whether advertising is earning more than a subscription would?

Your reports and sales dashboard show what subscriptions and rentals earn, and every campaign in Ads Manager carries its impressions, so you can compare what the free tier returns against what subscribers pay and move titles between the two on evidence rather than instinct.
