Will Advertising Drive People to Online Streaming? : An Analysis of Motives Behind Subscribing to Online Streaming Services

Abstract

This study explores the motivations that lead people to subscribe to online streaming services, and how much they are willing to pay for the sake of avoiding advertisements. A national sample of 501 people participated in an online questionnaire using uses and gratifications as a theoretical guide. The results suggest that having quality content can be enough to motivate people to subscribe to any service with or without advertisements.
