For two decades, Facebook has reshaped how we connect, share, and engage, bridging distances, amplifying voices, and transforming digital conversations. But beyond status updates and likes, it has also become a powerful subject of academic research, influencing studies on social behaviour, digital communication, and media impact.

At JoCC, we celebrate 20 years of Facebook by recognizing its role in redefining communication and inspiring groundbreaking applied and critical research in social media studies. Here’s to the platform that not only connects people but also fuels important academic conversations!

Every ground-breaking discovery begins with a simple question. What if this question could spark innovation? What if it held the potential to challenge norms, solve pressing problems, or pave the way for a brighter future?

Our latest research paper, “Uses and Gratifications of Over-the-Top (OTT) Video Streaming Platforms in India: Predictors of User’s Affinity, Satisfaction and Cord-Cutting”, takes you on a journey through predictors of user affinity, satisfaction, and cord-cutting towards OTT platforms in India.

Packed with insightful findings and transformative perspectives, the key learning from the study by Author’s Name centers on the viewers who are drawn to OTT platforms for various reasons, including ease of use, better viewing quality, entertainment, relaxation, social connection, curiosity, and seeking information.
Moreover, insights also suggest that entertainment, curiosity (voyeurism), and finding useful information make viewers more satisfied with OTT platforms.

Surprisingly, overly convenient navigation can lower satisfaction. However, easy navigation, better viewing experiences, entertainment, relaxation, and interactive features are encouraging more viewers to cut the cord and switch from traditional TV to OTT platforms.
OTT platforms aren’t just changing what we watch, they’re redefining why we watch. So, whether you’re streaming for entertainment, relaxation, or curiosity, the future of viewing is just a click away. Let’s cut the cord and embrace the stream!
