Short answer

Advertising video on demand (AVOD) is a streaming model in which viewers watch on-demand content for free, or at a reduced subscription price, in exchange for seeing ads. Services like Tubi and ad-supported tiers of Netflix and Disney+ use it. AVOD expands streaming audiences and gives advertisers access to premium, TV-like inventory on connected TV.
