Walmart's purchase of Vizio signals a new chapter for the retail giant as it seeks to enhance its advertising business. With ownership of WatchFree+, a service that competes with platforms like Pluto TV and Tubi, Walmart is poised to leverage its retail strength to create new advertising opportunities. The acquisition allows Walmart to combine video streaming with its extensive customer base, enhancing its ability to market products directly to consumers through targeted ads.
