Content creation refers to the contribution of information in a specific context to any media. The content is created for an audience and it could be in different forms, including article writing, videography, photography or blogging. Content creation can also be referred to as creating digital materials (articles, video, infographics, etc) for an online audience.

Creating content requires time and though some people develop content for the love of it, content creators should be highly rewarded for their effort in entertaining and informing the online world. Hence, the GazeTV platform. GazeTV is an incentivized social media platform that rewards both content creators and the audience alike.
GazeTV is quite different from other social media platforms as it encourages its users (content developers and the audience) by rewarding them with a $GAZE token. On May 14, 2021, GazeTV was officially launched in Hong Kong by Mr Jack Cheng. Unlike other social entertainment platforms, GazeTV is built on blockchain technology and uses this to improve data transparency and ease of management.
The problems of most traditional social entertainment platforms include lack of transparency, small earnings for content creators through in-stream advertisements and the advertisements, in turn, disrupts users from viewing content. GazeTV was created to solve these problems.

Content synchronization; This feature allows users to import content from other social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube, making it easy for users to upload videos without wasting time.
Audience engagement; This feature is divided into four factions, including likes, comments, views and shares. GazeTV creates a platform for creators and audiences to interact and engage with one another. Audience engagement influences the incentives received by creators. This means that as engagement with content rises, the content creator earns more tokens.
Data analysis; GazeTV provides data analysis for creators to help them determine the demographics of their audience. The platform offers simple graphs and charts to content creators to help them evaluate the viewing habits, age, location and interests of their audience. This allows them to adjust content to fit their target audience. This data analysis further helps to improve the user experience on GazeTV.
GazeTV is a decentralized platform powered by blockchain technology with built-in incentives and reward functions.

Unlike other social entertainment platforms, GazeTV enables the audience to support or reward creators directly. In general, we can say that GazeTV is centred around building a beneficial ecosystem for its users.
