Abstract
A system and method to provide streaming video content to a screen of a smart electronic device in non-viewable form until a user agrees to view the video in exchange for an incremental amount of currency, at which time the streaming video content becomes viewable in pre-determined increments of time pre-paid for by the user of the smart device by interacting with the screen. The user can determine through the screen how many increments of viewable streaming of video content are desired to be purchased and viewed by interacting with the screen in a pre-determined way each time the streaming video content becomes non-viewable.
