With the availability of broadband networks and the increase in computing power and electronic distribution, online streaming has become more and more popular (Aljukhadar and Senecal 2017). With the availability of broadband networks and the increase in computing power and electronic distribution, online streaming has become more and more popular (Hamid et al. 2016). Online streaming media is a kind of multimedia, which is continuously received by the end user and presented to the end user when it is continuously delivered by the provider. The term of live streaming refers to the process of the medium’s delivery method, not the medium itself. In addition, live-streaming media provides an alternative method of file download, in which the end user obtains the entire file of the content before watching or listening to the content. On the contrary, live streaming is the real-time transmission of Internet content, just like real-time TV broadcasts content via airwaves through TV signals. Live streaming requires a form of source media (e.g., a video camera, an audio interface, screen capture software, etc.), an encoder to digitize the content, a media publisher, and a content delivery network to distribute and deliver the content. Live-streaming media does not need to be recorded at the point of origin, although recording is often required. However, the development of live-streaming media on the Internet presents challenges. For example, in terms of long-term behavior observation, it is difficult to investigate user behavior through data collection and analysis. In addition, it is difficult for online streaming media operators to develop flexible business alternatives based on the changing streaming media behavior of users, thus failing to produce good and profitable business models.
