Research, Practical & Social implication: The paper offers valuable insights to the prominent marketers of OTTs in devising appropriate content promotion or content enhancement strategies which could lead to a favorable e-WOM about their content.
Originality/value: There has been immense research on the different aspects OTTs, but none has been done in context to OTT streaming video content’s e-WOM and subscription intention. Thus, the paper extends the existing research on OTTs to a new area, namely e-WOM
