Notes

  • OTT platforms have transformed viewer engagement by removing the temporal gaps inherent in traditional television broadcasting.
  • Binge-watching facilitates deep emotional attachment to fictional characters and narratives due to extended time spent in immersive environments.
  • Viewer attachment is reinforced by the integration of OTT content into daily routines and the loss of such routines upon series completion.
  • Post-series consumption behavior includes engaging with fan communities, social media discussions, and re-watching content to mitigate the sense of loss.
  • Social media has shifted the viewing experience from an individual activity to a collective, real-time social phenomenon.
  • The psychological impact of modern OTT consumption is comparable to historical engagement with serialised media like radio dramas and newspaper serials.
