Let's dive into user engagement: why do you need the growth of this metric much more on your app than on your Instagram or X account, and how to increase it significantly using the best practices from various domains. 

User engagement is how people use and connect with a product or website. It shows their interest, satisfaction and loyalty, helping brands improve experience and growth.

What Is User Engagement: Meaning, Examples and Why It Matters

Let’s start with the beginning: user engagement is a metric that shows the positive aspect of people’s interactions with online apps or media. Measuring it is critical to understand whether the platform is able to engage users successfully. This means that in the long run, it will retain them.User engagement is a metric which, among others, helps platforms (websites or applications) to estimate the quality of the UX. Engagement shows users' willingness to interact with the platform in the future, better than many other metrics. In the competitive market, it can be pretty essential to see the curve. What is no less critical: user engagement level helps <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/379213905_User_Engagement_and_Beyond_A_Conceptual_Framework_for_Engagement_in_Information_Systems_Research">algorithms</a> realise which users want to get your brand as recommended.<h2>What is the User Engagement Scale&nbsp;</h2>As user engagement (UE) is so crucial, we definitely need to measure and analyse it. The classic UE scale includes three dozen items describing as broadly as possible the interaction between users and the brand. It includes, for instance, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/computer-science/perceived-usability">perceived usability</a> (whether users find the platform, service, or product convenient), aesthetic appeal, experienced involvement, etc. This scale can be changed and adapted for the brand and company goals. Yet, the general point is in the comprehensive description of the meaningful interaction between the user and the brand.User engagement is often included in the brand and launch strategy as one of the primary metrics. It is especially relevant for entertaining brands. Recently, when <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2025/11/11/sony-says-destiny-2-sales-and-user-engagement-havent-met-its-goals/?ctpv=searchpage">Sony shut down</a> its game “Destiny 2”, they explained this decision not only because of the low sales rate, but also due to low user engagement.&nbsp; Can engagement be a bad thing?When it comes to social media, user engagement can be a bad or meaningless thing, especially today. When brands focus on user engagement built on social media, it can play against them. Let’s imagine a small vintage store which leads its Instagram account well, having a massive base of followers and a high engagement rate with comments, likes, and reposts. But these commenting users will never become customers if the brand doesn't scale, and more than that, they may not even visit the store website. User engagement on social media is a pretty inner thing, which cannot be transformed into real value without a fundamental business transformation. So there are two ways: to transform the business and start to sell things through Instagram, or to try moving all these active users to the website. You cannot use the first option if your business is fully digital, and you need your users to visit your initial platform to maintain its profitability.User engagement can affect a brand in a negative way, also when users are not satisfied with the brand itself or with its social media content. This case requires significant time to manage such feedback because every negative comment has to be covered, even if a user mixed your account with another brand.In the end, as <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.newyorker.com/culture/infinite-scroll/its-cool-to-have-no-followers-now">The New Yorker's author noted</a> recently, a vast social media audience now can mean nothing in terms of human enthusiasm. Your social media followers can just scroll through reels or comment on the video, but never be connected with your brand, because now more than ever, algorithms decide what SM users see in their feeds.<h2>How to measure user engagement?</h2>Because user engagement is a broad term which varies for different domains, the platforms can measure it in various ways, but the main metrics that can help almost all companies to estimate how engagement is going are session length and time spent, regularity of interactions, and, in the end, platform stickiness.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1500/1272;" src="https://cdn.eu.watchers.io/48d2c8aa-c1e2-464c-b9ac-91b49b893ae0.jpeg" alt="main metrics to follow user engagement " width="1500" height="1272"></figure><h2>How to drive practical user engagement?</h2>Above, in the quote above, the Sony representative meant not social media engagement but engagement inside the game. For video games, in-app engagement has been a crucial measure for a long time, but now, it is becoming similar for other entertaining platforms. In-app engagement includes all user interactions with the platform and mirrors the depth of user interest in the brand.We assume that your service is engaging enough, and don't give advice on your business. Still, you can use various tools to increase this metric and link your audience to the brand more.<h3>Gamification</h3>Gamification elements play a vital role in all types of apps, including non-gaming ones. When users unlock the following gamification element, it <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00222437241275927#bibr53-00222437241275927">provides</a> them with a feeling of mastery and high competence. This thereby stimulates natural motivation, encouraging a more enjoyable app experience. Usually, gamification includes different ranges, rates, tiers, and levels of usage. Sometimes, they also open some additional opportunities for users. Often, they can not even be used for any profit, like badges on Duolingo: they don’t open any additional lessons, but they force users to keep going. While users work for them, they spend more time on the app.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1100506/gamification-elements-business/">Statista</a> shared that educational platforms take third place among those which use in-app gamification more often. The first is, of course, gaming. Interesting that the second place goes to the business and financial platforms (like Mint, Bitazza, Revolut, and other examples). Regardless of whether this is a more serious domain, gamification works perfectly as an additional motivation for users. This approach is pretty popular <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://watchers.io/post/Why-Do-Fitness-and-Workout-Apps-Need">for fitness and wellness apps</a> (Fitbit, Headspace, Strava, Urban Sports Club and many more). Their audience is highly competitive, and also sometimes faces a lack of motivation. When, for example, they can’t achieve fast results. When it happens, the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://watchers.io/achievements">achievement</a> of a high rating star logo can become the needed pinch of species.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1500/913;" src="https://cdn.eu.watchers.io/fc6c616e-1ad1-42ab-bb9f-e267702e7ebb.jpeg" alt="Strava in-app leaderboard" width="1500" height="913"><figcaption>Leaderboard on the Strava app</figcaption></figure><h3>Feedback</h3>Polls, surveys, and questionnaires allow users to share their feedback on the app, platform, specific feature, or content. Also, they can be used just to stay connected with users and to get to know what they like, what they wish, or what their mood is. For this, welcome surveys work perfectly: like on Shopify or Netflix, you get to know your users, get valuable data, bond them to the recommendation system, and engage them because they like to share their interests playfully. People enjoy participating in surveys, and brands can use this specificity of users to get more data or to improve the platform or service. Most apps use the results of app-rating surveys for the development needs, as well as most-purchase surveys. Making surveys friendly and full of fans allows them to achieve better UX, grow <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://watchers.io/post/how-to-build-brand-loyalty-and-increase-customer-retention">user loyalty </a>and of course, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/394877348_The_Comparative_Effect_of_Immediate_and_Delayed_Feedback_on_EFL_Learners'_Engagement_and_Willingness_to_Collaborate">user engagement </a>in general.&nbsp; ContestsIt is another way to bond users to the platform with additional motivation. Quizzes and giveaways keep users engaged not in the short term but activate their competitiveness, stickiness to the brand and, in the end, loyalty. Often, the possibility of winning a prize is enough to grow curiosity and interest in the brand. As a recently conducted statistical<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/13/7/3679?"> analysis shows</a>, the intention to join online contests is connected with the overall positive user experience of customers. Users will be less likely to participate in a competition if they are not satisfied with your service. Still, if they are, the participation increases their positive experience and influences general user behaviour.<h3>P2P communication</h3>Engagement drives conversions; conversions drive engagement. Internal p2p (person-to-person) communication can increase monthly retention by 15-20% and recurrent revenue by 20%. This interconnection is vital to remember when you just start to work with engagement metrics. When your users have topics to discuss, your engagement grows. This stimulates convo development, and engagement heightens even more. So if you plan to raise user engagement internally, you need to think about where and how to place the chats, comments, or forums, and what type of dialogue will be more valuable. You can look through <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://watchers.io/post/best-in-app-chat-solutions">a guide where the best live chat solutions</a> are presented, and find which one suits the needed domain and goals the most. ***While growing user engagement, platform managers should keep in mind that more engagement does not automatically generate more value. It is always crucial to remember what the perfect result is for your specific service, what the benchmark is for your domain. If you do everything right, engagement will assist your sales and drive your overall business without any dependency on external social media.&nbsp;<h2>Grow user engagement with Watchers</h2>If you want to break a social media addiction of your brand and grow user engagement that will help you increase your main business metrics, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://calendly.com/watchers-platform/social-tools-for-your?month=2025-09">book a demo</a> call with the Watchers product team.

It helps estimate the quality of the UX and user interest in its usage.<h3>Why is user engagement important?</h3>Because if it is low or absent, that means users are not interested in your content or don’t find your platform comfortable. If you have considerable traffic but low engagement, you need to make significant changes in the user journey.<h3>What are examples of user engagement?</h3>On social media, the Engagement Rate counts likes, shares, comments, and other interactions. On educational apps, engagement includes session length, return frequency, and interactions with lessons. On fitness apps, engagement involves challenges, leaderboards, and time spent training.<h2>Sources</h2><ul><li>Measuring User Engagement | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.researchgate.net/journal/Synthesis-Lectures-on-Information-Concepts-Retrieval-and-Services-1947-9468">Synthesis Lectures on Information Concepts Retrieval and Services</a></li><li>User Engagement and Beyond: A Conceptual Framework for Engagement in Information Systems Research | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/379213905_User_Engagement_and_Beyond_A_Conceptual_Framework_for_Engagement_in_Information_Systems_Research">Communications of the Association for Information Systems</a></li><li>Driving Mobile App User Engagement Through Gamification | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00222437241275927#bibr53-00222437241275927">American Marketing Association</a></li><li>Why User Engagement Isn’t Always A Good Thing On Social Media | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/petersuciu/2019/10/28/why-user-engagement-isnt-always-a-good-thing-on-social-media/?ctpv=searchpage">Forbes</a></li><li>Sony Says Destiny 2 ‘Sales And User Engagement’ Haven’t Met Its Goals | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2025/11/11/sony-says-destiny-2-sales-and-user-engagement-havent-met-its-goals/?ctpv=searchpage">Forbes</a></li><li>It’s Cool to Have No Followers Now | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.newyorker.com/culture/infinite-scroll/its-cool-to-have-no-followers-now">The New Yorker</a></li><li>The Comparative Effect of Immediate and Delayed Feedback on EFL Learners' Engagement and Willingness to Collaborate | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.researchgate.net/journal/PsyCh-Journal-2046-0260">PsyJournal</a></li><li>Competitive Advantage Through Engagement | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1509/jmr.15.0044">Journal of Marketing Research</a></li><li>The Impact of Quizzing on Student Engagement in Online Learning | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/359855414_The_Impact_of_Quizzing_on_Student_Engagement_in_Online_Learning">International Journal of Innovative Science and Research Technology</a></li><li>Why are fitness and workout apps so crucially in need of in-app communities? | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://watchers.io/post/Why-Do-Fitness-and-Workout-Apps-Need">Watchers</a></li></ul>

Main Trends in Sports Coverage, Viewership, and Fandoms 2025

<div style="font-size:14px;line-height:1;" id="toc">If we avoid naming trends like “using AI, datafication, women sports growth” but find the particular changes and numbers, what we see:<h2 id="rise-of-digital-sports">Rise of digital sports streaming and personalised fan engagement</h2><ol><li data-list="bullet">27% of sports fans watch TV sports channels weekly, while 23% stream online</li><li data-list="bullet">Millennials (57%) are the most likely to pay for a sports subscription service, followed by Gen Zers (53%) and Xers (40%).</li><li data-list="bullet">Sports streaming on Amazon Prime has increased by 59% since 2021, signalling the growing importance of digital-first sports experiences.</li></ol><h2 id="new-economics">New economics of streaming services</h2>While the shift to sports streaming services opens new revenue streams, sports media faces challenges, including subscription fatigue and a fragmented landscape. Churn rates among sports subscribers are high, prompting companies to explore bundling streaming services (e.g., Disney+ and Hulu Sports). Moreover, younger fans increasingly rely on algorithm-driven sports content for their sports news updates, raising questions about whether they will commit to paid sports streaming subscriptions.To counteract these challenges, sports leagues and sports teams are prioritising data-driven fan engagement and personalised marketing to drive loyalty:<ol><li data-list="bullet">The NFL fan database has centralised over 20 million sports fans to streamline outreach.</li><li data-list="bullet">Major League Baseball (MLB fan engagement) uses fan data to enhance the stadium experience, offering personalised promotions and real-time notifications.</li><li data-list="bullet">68% of consumers say sports personalisation significantly increases their brand satisfaction.</li></ol><a style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17, 85, 204);" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.pwc.co.uk/hospitality-leisure/documents/global-sports-survey-2024.pdf">PWC</a> formed the key insights from Women's Super League fans and England women’s football fans:&nbsp;<ol><li data-list="bullet">The most popular sports are football, boxing and cricket.</li><li data-list="bullet">14% of the audience are gamers.</li><li data-list="bullet">Greater affinity for premium brands such as John Lewis.</li><li data-list="bullet">Betting and gambling are of high interest to both audiences.</li><li data-list="bullet">Sizeable opportunity for rights holders, fans and brands.</li><li data-list="bullet">65% of WSL club fans are male.</li><li data-list="bullet">10% of the audience is interested in sustainability, human rights and climate.</li></ol><h2 id="fandom-evolution">Fandom evolution: athlete-driven engagement</h2>Sports fandom is evolving beyond team loyalty, with younger audiences increasingly drawn to individual athletes and their personal brands. This is particularly pronounced in women’s sports, which continues to gain momentum:<ol><li data-list="bullet">The 2025 Women’s Euros and the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 are expected to drive record-breaking engagement.</li><li data-list="bullet">Rising stars like Caitlin Clark and Leah Williamson are spearheading a surge in women’s sports viewership, attracting new fans.</li><li data-list="bullet">Industry leaders identify women’s sports growth as the top sports investment opportunity.</li></ol><a style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17, 85, 204);" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://sporsora.com/etudes/1451-2024-global-sports-survey/file">In Europe, only around two-thirds of followers</a> of top football leagues regularly watch live games, which presents both a threat and an opportunity to grow viewership and provides other ways to interact with favourite sports and teams.A fifth of fans,&nbsp;studied by Media Culture, are fans because of the communities they want to be part of, but just because they support the team. The social aspect and the necessary feeling of belonging are bonding fans and their passion, giving them more joy. That’s why when fans are gathering from different countries to support the same team, they crucially need to have a way to communicate with each other and perform their communicativeness. One of the best examples of this is La Liga, which gathers fans worldwide through its League community-building app.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1500/1016;" src="https://cdn.eu.watchers.io/9cf800c7-141c-4386-8159-cbc67577c0b1.jpeg" width="1500" height="1016"></figure><h2 id="fan-ownership-models">Fan Ownership Models and Blockchain in Sports</h2>Another emerging trend is the rise of fan-owned sports clubs, which give supporters a stake in their favourite teams. Actually, this highlights the importance of fan communities because nowadays they literally rule sports.This movement is part of a more significant sports decentralisation trend:<ol><li data-list="bullet">The German Bundesliga’s 50+1 rule ensures fan-majority ownership, fostering strong community-driven sports organisations.</li><li data-list="bullet">Clubs like AFC Wimbledon and Real Oviedo allow fans to influence sports team decisions, from jersey designs to charity partnerships.</li><li data-list="bullet">Blockchain-based fan tokens (e.g., Socios.com fan tokens) enable interactive fan engagement, provide financial support for clubs, and increase fan loyalty.</li></ol><h2 id="role-of-ai-in-sports-coverage">The role of AI and data analytics in sports coverage</h2>Generative AI in sports and sports analytics are set to revolutionise sports media, impacting everything from sports content creation to fan engagement:<ol><li data-list="bullet">AI-driven sports personalisation is helping sports leagues tailor sports recommendations, making sports coverage more immersive.</li><li data-list="bullet">Predictive sports analytics enhance sports betting, player performance analysis, and fan behaviour insights.</li><li data-list="bullet">AI-generated sports commentary and automated sports highlights make real-time sports coverage more dynamic and cost-effective.</li></ol>Looking ahead, the sports industry trends in 2025 will need to balance innovation with accessibility. As sports streaming services and digital-first sports content dominate, sports leagues must ensure that sports fans across generations can affordably engage with sports media. Meanwhile, emerging sports technologies and fan-driven sports innovations will continue to shape the future of sports consumption, making 2025 a defining year for watching sports online, interacting with, and supporting people's favourite teams and athletes.<hr><h2 id="get-in-touch">Get in Touch</h2>If you want to grow engagement, build strong fan communities, or provide live streaming in your sports app with influencers and athletes as hosts, please&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://calendly.com/watchers-platform/social-tools-for-your">book a call</a> with Watchers team.

Semantic and Sentiment Analysis: What Are the Best Sources of Consumers’ Thoughts?

Table of contents<a href="#sentiment-analysis">Sentiment Analysis</a>&nbsp;<a href="#semantic-analysis">Semantic Analysis</a>&nbsp;<a href="#combining-analyses">Combining Sentiment and Semantic Analyses</a>&nbsp;<a href="#right-data-source">Finding the Right Data Sources&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;<a href="#gathering-in-app-data">How to Gather In-App Data</a>&nbsp;<a href="#watchers-semantic">How Semantic Analysis Works on the Watchers Platform&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;<a href="#get-in-touch">Get in Touch Sources</a>&nbsp;<hr style="margin-bottom:1vw;">Datafication is something we always talk about. We have data flows, we want as much data as possible, and we try to find a way to interpret it. Data tells us a lot, but not about the feelings of users. Imagine you have a user who has a subscription to your service. They spend time and money on your platform, consuming your content. You have as much data as possible about them, but once they cancel their subscription and switch to another platform, you attempt to win them back with offers and emails. However, by then, they are classified as churned. However, you still don’t know why this user left and what you actually need to offer to bring them back.It sounds like we are discussing not just a relationship with a user but a relationship with a significant other. But come on, aren’t your users significant to you? Of course, they are. And what is the best way to prevent a relationship catastrophe? Listening.Direct questions you ask your users do not always work well. A user must be extremely loyal and have plenty of free time to fill out occasional surveys about user satisfaction. If the user is no longer satisfied and decides to switch to another service, your final attempt with a five-question poll asking why they are leaving is a last-ditch foul, but you should have listened earlier.We can reflect on this for a long time. Still, two key methods really help you listen to your users and extract as many insights as possible: the first is sentiment analysis, and the second is semantic analysis.<h2 id="sentiment-analysis">Sentiment Analysis</h2>Sentiment analysis encodes the emotional tone of a text. Usually provided by NLP, this type of analysis can be applied to any text: social media posts, threads, comments on YouTube or Twitch, or survey results. Sentiment analysis is less about deep insights and more about understanding users’ feelings and satisfaction with a product or content. Typically, sentiment analysis categorises data into three groups: positive, negative, and neutral. All comments, responses, and messages—depending on your goal and the platform for analysis—fall into these categories.For example, if you release a trailer for a game or film, a demo of a new feature, or plan a rebranding for the product, you can gauge the general impression of your current or potential consumers. How do they feel about it? Good, bad, or indifferent? This allows you to address issues if something was not well-received.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1080/1080;" src="https://cdn.eu.watchers.io/5e4e283e-817c-49fd-8e49-58b944a04a7b.png" alt="Semantic and Semiotic analysis for marketing" width="1080" height="1080"></figure><h2 id="semantic-analysis">Semantic Analysis</h2>Semantic analysis provides specific answers. If sentiment analysis reveals that users did not like your trailer or feature, you need to find out why. Of course, you can try to survey a sample of people who had an adverse reaction, but a sample may not capture all insights. More importantly, consumers are less honest when asked directly than when they simply interact. When faced with someone responsible for the product, their behaviour changes—they become less critical, more polite, and ultimately less insightful.Semantic analysis helps by categorising discussions based on topics relevant to the content users are engaging with. For example, if it’s a film or game trailer, you can determine which aspects users discussed the most: graphics and CGI? Voice acting? Facial animations? An unrealistic plot? Predictable gameplay? Or perhaps the controversy surrounding the producer? Sentiment analysis may show that 60% of comments were negative, but the underlying reason for this negativity may vary widely. A controversy involving a key figure in the project is a very different issue from an unpleasant voiceover.<h2 id="combining-analyses">Combining Sentiment and Semantic Analyses</h2>It’s best to combine both analyses. First, use sentiment analysis to understand the general attitude toward your content—was it positive, negative, or neutral? Once you have an answer, apply semantic analysis. It identifies the most and least discussed topics as well as the words and concepts users mention most often. Such a simple technique can provide valuable insights.If you want to dig even deeper, use sentiment analysis again, but this time, apply it to specific sets of messages or comments. For example, suppose semantic analysis shows that a significant portion of comments is about CGI. Are most of these comments positive or negative? Another popular discussion topic is the production team—what is the sentiment there? Good, bad, or neutral?It’s not just about raw data—it’s about interpretation, not subjective but direct and objective. You may have 10,000 comments under posts about two games you promoted. Both posts have excellent engagement rates, suggesting your brand is popular. However, sentiment analysis reveals that the first post’s 10,000 comments are mostly negative, while the second’s are predominantly positive. Meanwhile, semantic analysis shows that the positive comments were about the winning team, whose fans flooded the post to celebrate, whereas the negative comments stemmed from technical issues on your platform. Despite high engagement rates, analysis reveals the actual reasons behind the activity.<h2 id="right-data-source">Finding the Right Data Sources</h2>Of course, data is necessary for such analysis, and social media is an obvious feedback source. But is it truly the best? Are those commenting on your posts actual users, or did they simply see the post in their feed, leave a comment, and move on?For some businesses, this distinction is not critical. If you are marketing a new product that is available everywhere, social media is ideal. However, if you are marketing a service, platform, or content exclusive to a&nbsp;specific platform, analysing social media may not provide the insights needed to refine your strategy or improve your product. In such cases, in-app messaging is the most valuable data source. Users share their emotions and opinions while consuming content, not through structured surveys but in organic discussions with each other. Such feedback is far more sincere and, therefore, more insightful.<h2 id="gathering-in-app-data">How to Gather In-App Data</h2><h3>Public Live Chats</h3>When users have a space to discuss topics they enjoy openly, they become honest. They discuss both the&nbsp;advantages and disadvantages of your platform and may even debate among themselves. This not only boosts retention and engagement but also provides you with valuable, unsolicited feedback—at no additional cost. Public chats can be integrated in various ways, such as a general lobby for all conversations or dedicated chats for specific events or content pages.<h3>Comment Sections</h3>Like event chats but designed for long-term discussions rather than real-time interaction, comment sections provide direct feedback at all times. Media platforms, streaming services, and marketplaces can all introduce comment sections to continuously receive user insights. Publishers claim that comment sections also increase time spent on the platform and subscriber numbers, as users often need to sign in to participate.Moreover, an essential aspect of in-app data for sentiment and semantic analysis is that you own the data. On&nbsp;social media, inappropriate comments may not be visible, meaning they are excluded from analytical tools. However, on your platform, even hidden comments can be analysed, allowing you to understand what truly frustrates your users.<h3>In-App Live Streaming</h3>Live streaming is an exceptional source of insights because it is spontaneous, engaging, and real-time. Users are accustomed to following Twitch influencers who analyse content or products, and they trust these influencers. If an influencer streams directly on your platform, users will still be direct and honest.<h2 id="watchers-semantic">How Semantic Analysis Works on the&nbsp;Watchers Platform</h2>Our clients can analyse messages sent to any chat <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://watchers.io/post/How-and-Why-Is-Collecting-First-Party-Data-Crucial-for-Your-Business">using AI-powered tools</a>. Messages from a given period are forwarded to the AI tool, and clients can select from various analysis prompts or customise them for optimal results. The system categorises messages, enabling clients to understand the most frequently discussed topics, the sentiment behind them, and the most commonly used words and phrases.Semantic analysis can also serve specific purposes. For instance, one recent analysis revealed that the client's public chat contained messages in six languages. However, 60% of the messages were in French, with the most common words being gagner, real, psg, lyon, and mbappe. With this info, the client understood which events to prioritise on their platform’s homepage.<h2 id="get-in-touch">Get in Touch</h2><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-emoji:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">If you want to integrate community-based live chats or other social tools into your website or app and receive insights about user behaviour, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://calendly.com/watchers-platform/social-tools-for-your"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-emoji:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">book a&nbsp;call</a><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-emoji:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> with our team.

We've gathered the most interesting trends, significant quotations, and the bravest predictions for the future of communication and entertainment—just for you and us to create the most exciting, ambitious, and realistic roadmap.We studied numerous reports in 2024 and examined predictions for the following year from the most influential research companies, media outlets, and technological giants. From these analyses, we selected the most intriguing trends, significant quotes, and boldest forecasts for the future of communication and entertainment. We’ve gathered insights to craft the most exciting, ambitious, and relevant roadmap for you and us.<h2 id="mainstream-adoption">Mainstream Adoption of Live Streaming</h2>Trend: Live streaming continues to dominate, with users focusing on interactive, real-time experiences.We've written it before: live-streaming has been one of the most notable trends in the entertainment industry for the last few years. Users get used to streaming, watching other users’ streams; everything can be streamed, and everything can be sold during the stream. Twitch and YouTube created this trend, but it doesn't mean that other services can use it for their interaction with the audience.<blockquote>“Live-streaming viewership is up 12% from Q3 2023 to 8.5B hours watched, indicating renewed interest in the industry following the post-pandemic dip. Kick solidified its position in the live-streaming space, now holding the #3 spot with 534M hours watched after growing it (together with Twitch and YouTube; the fourth place goes to Facebook Video). This resurgence has been fueled by a wider variety of platforms, like Kick, which has doubled in viewership compared to Q3 last year.” Stream Hatchet; Q3 2024 Report</blockquote><blockquote>“As live-streaming commerce grows, it’s&nbsp;clear that e-commerce will need to evolve or risk being overshadowed by this inherently dynamic approach. Through advanced personalisation, moderation and real-time analytics, content will be tailored to real-time preferences based on input and reactions." <a style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17, 85, 204);" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.forbes.com">Lux Narayan</a> for Forbes, October 2024</blockquote><figure class="image" style="margin-bottom:1vw;"><img style="aspect-ratio:896/1152;" src="https://cdn.eu.watchers.io/c7f8fa62-a0c9-4346-8385-c3fdfed96032.webp" width="896" height="1152"></figure><blockquote>“We now expect to see a new era of streaming, one that prioritises user experience and innovation. The future of AI-powered streaming lies in platforms that can anticipate individual preferences, deliver tailored content, and blur the lines between traditional viewing and interactive experiences.” Kevin Westcott, Deloitte Global Telecommunications, November 2024</blockquote><blockquote>“60% of those respondents who budget for influencer marketing intend to increase their influencer marketing budget over the next year.” Influencer Marketing Hub</blockquote><h2 id="consolidation-of-embedded-ai">Consolidation of Embedded AI</h2>Trend: AI integration becomes a demanded part of functionality for enhancing UX through personalization, chat assistance, and predictive analytics.The growth of embedded AI happened fast and users adopted it really fast as well. Now, companies and services should not fall behind and give users what they expect to see: convenient tools for interacting with AI or services improved with AI for better personalisation.<blockquote>“...companies hope to create an all-in-one app, where users can act on what they have learned and never have to leave. 73% of consumers believe customer service quality will improve with the&nbsp;use of AI and expect more interactions with it in their everyday lives.” CX Trend 2024; Dmitry Shevelenko, Perplexity</blockquote><blockquote>“If you think about the world’s data, the majority of it is sitting in cold tiers and archives. Enterprises are now using that data to feed AI models and realise the full value of the data." Arthur Lewis, <a style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17, 85, 204);" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/ai-technology-stocks-d289e665">Dell Technologies</a>’ infrastructure solutions group; Barron’s, November 2024</blockquote><blockquote>“In 2025, this democratisation of AI usage is accelerating, promising to reshape industries and revolutionise decision-making processes across every sector of the economy.” Forbes, November, 2024</blockquote><h2 id="surge-in-gamification">Surge in Gamification</h2>Trend: Gamification elements, like achievements, leaderboards, and streaks, are key to driving engagementGamification is not a new trend; it has been evolving over the last decade or so. As more users develop playing and video games habits, they increasingly tend to respond to achievements and expect to receive them for their behaviour. If platforms want to retain users and build loyalty, achievements are becoming a necessary element of this.<blockquote>“Gamification is about motivating people through data-driven experiences that tap into the core of what makes us human—our need to learn, grow, and be rewarded.” Gabe Zichermann, Onward, October 2024</blockquote><blockquote>“The gamification market size has grown exponentially, and it is expected to grow with GAGR in 24.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increased use of gamification in the gaming industry and the rise of mobile games.” Global Gamification Market Growth Drivers 2024/ Report</blockquote><h2 id="hyper-localisation">Hyper-Localisation</h2>Trend: Platforms demand tailored experiences to specific geographies, languages, and cultural contexts.<blockquote>Personalisation is no longer a luxury; it’s an expectation. Players want experiences that resonate with their individual preferences.” Yogonet iGaming news, October 2024</blockquote>This trend is closely tied to the development of embedded AI and the full adoption of big data, and interestingly, it intersects with both globalisation and anti-globalisation movements. Some platforms aim to protect their content, while others focus on offering users the freedom to move seamlessly across borders without losing their connection to the platform.Users demand a close, personalised connection with their favourite services, whether at home or abroad. Personalisation is a king, detailed localisation is a necessity.&nbsp;<blockquote>“The drivers for local differentiation include: Businesses in highly regulated industries must adhere to national or regional regulations and ensure that regulators’ systems can connect with their own. Data privacy and security laws, such as the European Union’s GDPR and China’s Data Security Law, apply to all industries and may include <a style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17, 85, 204);" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/risk-and-resilience/our-insights/localization-of-data-privacy-regulations-creates-competitive-opportunities">requirements affecting local infrastructure</a>, such as cloud providers, and mechanisms to control data flows, such as isolated access controls. The user experience may need to be tailored to reflect local&nbsp; communication preferences.”McKinsey and Company</blockquote><h2 id="blockchain">Blockchain and Tokenised Incentives and Crypto Growth</h2>Trend: Blockchain and tokenized economics are gaining traction for ease and transparency in processing and unique rewardsIf your platform operates globally and involves financial transactions—whether users trade stocks, buy or sell goods, pay for services, or place bets—they need a secure and seamless way to manage their money. To avoid complications with various currencies, some platforms have adopted crypto operations. While this trend may not exhibit the fastest growth, it remains strong and steadily gains confidence.<blockquote>“Tech-savvy players who value anonymity and fast transactions are particularly drawn to crypto-friendly platforms. Additionally, the rise of PayPal casinos is also notable, as many players prefer the security and ease of transactions that the platform offers. As global regulations around cryptocurrency and digital payment methods continue to evolve, their roles in the gambling industry will only grow stronger.” Yogonet Gaming news, October 2024</blockquote><blockquote>“Tokenized financial assets are moving from pilot to at-scale deployment. Adoption is not yet widespread, but financial institutions with blockchain capabilities in&nbsp;place will have a strategic advantage. For instance, we believe tokenization feasibility is highest for asset classes with lower technical complexities and regulatory considerations.” McKinsey &amp; Company, 2024</blockquote><h2 id="community-building">Community-building</h2>Trend: The social part of user experience is now a necessity.Two years ago, developing social tools were essential for entertainment businesses: users got used to social media, and social networks stole retention and attention from platforms, channels, and services. It was crucial, but now it is required. All users of all platforms need to share their opinions: your users can watch movies or sports, study analytical reports, share their ideas about the best cookie recipes, bet on hockey or buy tickets to the theatre: all need to receive advice or give them.<figure class="image" style="margin-bottom:1vw;"><img style="aspect-ratio:896/1152;" src="https://cdn.eu.watchers.io/6c5e6e7c-2cdb-401d-8a1a-bef8bc876ebe.webp" width="896" height="1152"></figure>All of them were really into these activities, and they had to create WhatsApp or Facebook groups for such discussions, but now platforms see these needs and add this functionality. Interestingly, it doesn't matter if the platform is big or small; community chat, comment section, and in-app live-video streaming can be added on any platform with a topic to discuss, and users are interested in such discussions.&nbsp;<blockquote>“Engaging with your audience shows you value their input and are willing to evolve based on their needs.” <a style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17, 85, 204);" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbescommunicationscouncil/2024/10/01/the-power-of-community-how-fashion-brands-are-building-loyalty-among-gen-z/">Forbes, October 2024</a></blockquote>***Sources<ul><li>Enhance your platform with in-app social tools and personalised widgets to meet users' needs, stay on trend, and increase engagement.

Let's look at female sports coverage, and what records and problems are observed in the industry.

What is going on with the coverage of female sports, what new platforms appeared in 2023 for women's sports broadcasting, and what problems in the industry are still waiting to be solved

Anatomy of a rise: What’s going on with female sports broadcasting

<div style="font-size:14px;line-height:1;" id="toc">On this page&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="#look-at-numbers">Let’s look at numbers</a>&nbsp;<a href="#problems-to-solve">Problems to solve</a>&nbsp;<a href="#new-possibilities">New possibilities</a>&nbsp;<a href="#get-in-touch">Get in touch</a>&nbsp;<hr style="margin-bottom:1vw;">In 2022, we published <a style="background-color:transparent;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://watchers.io/post/how-do-women-watch-sports">an article about women's sports and how difficult it was to find where to watch them</a>. Two years have passed, and now we can say that female sports broadcasting has broken records.What particular tournaments are the most popular? What platforms cover these games? Is it really so easy now to watch female sports, or are many problems still waiting for a solution?<h2 id="look-at-numbers">Let’s look at numbers</h2>Wasserman’s report shared that traditionally, before 2019, women’s sports coverage contained not more than 3-5%. In 2019, it increased by 5%. However, the full analysis of 2022 showed a threefold increase, so coverage of female sports through media (including linear TV, video streaming, and social media) was 15% and continued to grow. But we should remember that there were no significant changes in linear TV coverage, and this common growth was provided by streaming platforms and social media that are more flexible to trends than solid and clumsy traditional television.In the USA, women’s basketball is the best-covered female sport, followed by football, tennis, and softball.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1430/1500;" src="https://cdn.eu.watchers.io/b53b2bce-3287-43d9-9c18-c7f546813e9c.jpeg" width="1430" height="1500"></figure>&nbsp;Women’s college volleyball also received huge numbers. The match was streamed on Fox and attracted 1.66 million viewers.The Women's European Football Championship final gathered more than 450 million interactions on social media worldwide and the highest viewing figures on television In Germany in 2022.In 2023, the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship, broadcast by ESPN, attracted nearly 10 million viewers per game.In 2023, Women's esports tournaments received 28 million hours of viewing, 15% more than a year earlier. Online viewing peaks showed wild growth, increasing from 392.4K to 1.37M viewers. These numbers were set at the final of the 32nd SEA Games Women's Tournament for Mobile Legends, where Bang Bang, Indonesian, and Philippine teams competed.The National Research Group and Ampere Analysis report said that 39% of Gen Zers watch more female sports than they used to.We provided just examples. You can check reports for the last two years and find booms in the popularity of female sports. Interest in them is growing, which influences offers, and the whole industry is starting to bloom. However…<h2 id="problems-to-solve">Problems to solve</h2>However, coverage and an enormous amount of hours don’t mean equality because when male tournaments get prime time slots, female games often go to daytime or nighttime, if we talk about linear TV. Sometimes, it turns up with wins, as in the situation with the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship, broadcast by ESPN, the results of which we shared above. ESPN refused to give primetime for this tournament, and the daytime slot on Sundays became extremely watchable with enormous numbers of viewers. However, such a programming approach can create a boundary between games and viewers.Female sports receive more coverage, but not less objectification and sexism directed at women athletes. How does it come out? Through commenting about dresses, spouses, appearances, and chosen camera angles. This attitude was evident in comparison to the Football awards: commentators talked a lot about dresses and looks while female athletes were being awarded, and about sports and competitions while men were on the scene.Also, female athletes are not so visible in sports media despite their huge success. Of course, significant brands partner with athletes, and you can find some of them in ads. They develop their personal brands on social media, but on the one hand, their presence on visible media is much less than that of male athletes. On the other hand, even those athletes who are presented mostly belong to what are called classic feminine athletes, while women who look and behave less traditionally are almost invisible in the wider media.<figure class="image" style="margin-bottom:1vw;"><img style="aspect-ratio:1196/1510;" src="https://cdn.eu.watchers.io/f956cdb8-c806-475b-bec1-dbb901e79dcf.png" width="1196" height="1510"><figcaption>©Just Women's Sports Instagram account</figcaption></figure>National Research Group and Ampere Analysis found that broadcast networks in the USA spent 0.2% of media-rights budgets on female-only sports events, which returns us to the previous problem. Traditional media, even if they broadcast and cover female tournaments, are still not fully ready to invest in their development and promotion as they do with male sports.<h2 id="new-possibilities">New possibilities</h2>Over the last two years, several promising platforms with female sports content have been launched. Firstly, there is the Women’s Sports Network, the first-ever video platform focusing on female athletes. It offers 24/7 streaming of programming, competitions, documentaries, and other content covering female sports. What’s important is that it is available for free on such services as Freevee by Amazon, Tubi by Fox, FuboTV, and different Smart TVs.The women's European Championship final in Germany was watched by more people than the men's national team matches during the World Cup in Qatar, highlighted Haruka Gruber, Senior Vice President Media DACH at sports streaming channel DAZN, when DAZN launched DAZN Rise, a free platform that broadcasts female sports 24/7.Companies realised that women's sports weren’t as watched as they could be, not because of the lack of interest but because of the absence of opportunities. So, if one of the main problems is going to be solved, maybe others, such as a safe online space, coverage on traditional media, and wide sponsorship, will not stay with us for long.<h2>Get in touch</h2>If you want to enhance broadcasting with real-time communication, using second screens, live chats, polls, and other community-building tools,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://watchers.io/form">connect with us</a>.
