Hi,

Shortfundly team helps filmmakers to get connected with a movie buff audience. As a community platform, we keep interacting with fellow members on our platform.

OTT platforms are increasing their popularity to a great extent. With the urge of getting more and more on-demand entertainment, people are subscribing to the streaming channels even more.

Pros:

There are so many advantages of OTT content. The main point is the price factor and monthly prices are really low, so the consumer has a wide variety of content at a minimum price. If you as a consumer are worried about the installation then don’t fret, because, for OTT streaming content, all you need is a laptop or a phone. Another major advantage is the wide variety of content that can be watched. OTT Platform is the best thing that has happened to the human race.

  1. every new movie, TV series, music shows, etc you can watch on your house, office, on the way, like anywhere
  2. you will be updated through its trailers and dates when it your shows can be available.
  3. you won’t have to download to watch
  4. you can watch a lot of shows and movies at a very reasonable price
  5. most common OTT platforms are Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hotstar premium, ZEE5, etc.
  6. no more ads are shown while playing videos on premium content.
  7. OTT releases won’t get censored.
  8. OTT releases would also deliver content as promised and envisioned by the makers.
  9. You can rewatch it whenever you want. There are several moments that leave an impact on our minds and we feel like revisiting them. With cinemas, people normally think of giving this a miss as they’d have to buy another overpriced ticket. With OTT, you can rewatch it as per your wish and as many times as you want to.

Cons:

  1. you need to have wifi connection (strong) for better quality and without buffering.
  2. Sometimes you may not get all the content you wish to watch. A sudden change of policies may affect your access to the content vis-a-vis your geography, payment methods, etc. 
  3. mobile RAM should be 3GB or more for better play.
  4. if you use mobile data for streaming, it will get consumed in a very short time.
  5. Some movies are just meant to be seen in the cinemas. Especially big-budget summer blockbusters. Seeing such movies on mobiles can sound defeating to makers as they may also feel demotivated and even decide to not produce big-budget content.
  6. People who mostly go for outing to cinemas won’t find another reason. Going to cinemas with friends and family is still a big deal on festive occasions, and that magic is something that can’t be recreated at home.
  7. Some experiences can’t be recreated by OTT. 70 mm IMAX and 4DX are some formats that can’t be replaced. Also, OTT doesn’t offer much in terms of 3D content. The audience for 3D films still exists and I’m one of them. Although 3D Blu-rays luckily exist, it’s not always easy to afford them and one expects them to be available on OTT as well. It turns out disappointing when it doesn’t happen.

i would say good to have amazon prime and Hotstar premium for better movies and TV series. Check out the OTT Advantages and Disadvantages in India.
