For Pluto TV's 10th anniversary, I spoke with Saleah Blancaflor of Fast Company about our early days searching for product-market fit, our hypergrowth phase, and the future. #plutotv #10years #paramount #FAST #streaming #startups #scaleups

We celebrated Pluto TV's 10th anniversary yesterday. From our contrarian underdog beginnings on that April Fool's Day launch through pioneering and popularizing a new category of streaming called FAST, there was much to be thankful for -- particularly our team, partners and viewers. And of course, the famous couch potatoes from our recent Super Bowl commercial were on full display. Those spuds have some serious dance moves. 😂 #plutotv #paramount #FAST #streaming #decade

Ten years ago, on April Fool's Day 2014, Pluto TV pioneered and eventually popularized a new category of streaming which became known as "FAST" - free ad-supported streaming television. At a time when the conventional wisdom held that the only model for streaming success would look like Netflix -- paid subscription, on demand, no ads -- Pluto swam in the other direction on all counts. It was free, linear, and ad-supported. Many thought we were fools and maybe we were a little bit. But seven years later we crossed $1B in revenue and became profitable. I could not be more grateful and proud of the work our team has done from those early days through our acquisition and hyper growth through today and into the future. FAST is estimated to be a $12B market in just a few years. Even though today marks a decade into our journey, we are still just getting started. Some of my thoughts on our story in the Variety piece below. Thanks Todd Spangler for the interview. https://lnkd.in/gPdnK5Qh #plutotv #paramount #FAST #streaming #startup

Let's make Pluto a planet again! After 18 years relegated to "dwarf planet" status it's about time.

I could not have said it better myself. Thanks Vibol Hou and congratulations to the entire Pluto TV team on the well deserved Technology & Engineering Emmy® Award! #plutotv #paramount #emmys #FAST #streaming #innovation
