The findings of this study suggest that exclusive content can significantly enhance viewer engagement, particularly among fans of the original content. The study also highlights the importance of subtitles in increasing accessibility and viewer engagement among non-native speakers. The results have implications for streaming services and content creators, suggesting that exclusive content and subtitles can be effective strategies for increasing viewer engagement and accessibility.
Previous studies have shown that exclusive content can be an effective strategy for streaming services to attract and retain viewers (Auter, 2017; Kipping, 2018). Exclusive content can create a sense of FOMO (fear of missing out) among viewers, leading to increased engagement and loyalty (Przybylski et al., 2013). Additionally, subtitles can increase accessibility and viewer engagement among non-native speakers (Krasnova et al., 2013).
The survey results showed that 80% of viewers reported being more engaged with the content because it was exclusive, while 70% reported being more likely to recommend the content to others. The interview results highlighted the importance of subtitles in increasing accessibility and viewer engagement among non-native speakers. One viewer noted: "I wouldn't have been able to watch the movie without the subtitles. It made it easier for me to understand and follow the story."
