🚨 Coming up at #VIDEseminar: Julie Holland Mortimer (Wash U)

“The Effect of Ad-Supported Plans on Content Offerings of Streaming Platforms”

🔜 Wed, November 5, 11am New York, 5pm Berlin. Open to anyone!

Further information: www.digitalecon.org/seminar
ABSTRACT We examine how the shift of streaming platforms to an advertiser-supported revenue model affects their content offerings and consumers. This shift forces platforms to adjust their content strategies, though the direction is unclear. Platforms may aim to increase ad impressions by offering content that appeals to a broad audience, thereby driving up viewership. Alternatively, they may seek to increase the value of impressions by targeting niche audiences, who are typically more valuable to advertisers. These changes also impact consumers: while they generally dislike ads, consumers might benefit from adjusted content offerings if aligning with their preferences. We plan to answer this question using data on content offerings of platforms and consumer viewership.

First was an excellent talk by Shane Greenstein on effects of co-invention investment in web 2.0/mobile apps for radio stations at @digitalecon.org. I can't express how refreshing it is to hear a talk focused on a tech transition that we have good visibility on www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKSu... (2/5)
