This indicates challenges in both traditional distribution channels and content monetization strategies.

The operating loss improved from $(557) million in Q1 2023 to $(267) million in Q1 2024. This improvement is primarily due to a 9% decrease in total costs and expenses, indicating successful cost management initiatives.
