ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Paid content

Okay, kiddo, let me explain paid content to you!

First of all, do you know what content means? It means all the stuff we read, watch, or listen to like articles, videos, and songs.

Now, sometimes people create really good content that they think other people would like to see, read, or hear. But they also need to make money to keep creating more content. So, what they do is they ask other people to pay for it if they want to enjoy it. That's where paid content comes in.

Let's say your favorite author writes a really interesting book, and you want to read it. But to read it, you need to buy it. That's paid content. The author gets paid for their hard work, and you get to enjoy a great story.

The same goes for movies, TV shows, music, and even news articles. Sometimes, you might come across something really good, but you have to pay to see or hear it.

Does that make sense, kiddo? In short, paid content is when you have to pay money to enjoy something someone has created.
