Licensed sports services can require subscriptions, pay-per-view purchases, television packages or region-specific services. MethStreams attempted to remove that barrier by making streams accessible through a web browser.
The interface was also designed around the immediate event rather than around a traditional subscription ecosystem. Users generally searched for the event they wanted and selected a stream.
That convenience helped unauthorized sports-streaming websites develop large audiences.
