Abstract
Over-the-top video streaming (OTT) platforms, by their consummate artistry, are changing how people watch television. No past research has investigated the relationship between OTT streaming platforms' different uses and gratifications (U&G), subscription, and continuation intentions. Using the multi-method approach commonly used in uses and gratification research, i.e., semi-structured interviews and surveys, this study identified eight U&Gs for OTT use: convenient navigability, binge watching, entertainment, relaxation, social interaction, companionship, voyeurism, and information seeking. A comprehensive research model was developed based on the U& G theory and tested using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) on cross-sectional data from 576 OTT users of different ages and gender from India. The result indicated that convenient navigability, binge watching, and relaxation U&G predict OTT subscription intentions, whereas convenient navigability, binge watching, and entertainment U&G predicts its continuation intentions
