2023 was a tough year for video streaming, with churn rates nearing 50%. Ad-funded models seem like a solution, but our research shows consumers still prefer SVOD over AVOD services.

Less than a quarter think these should be free. 🔹 Ad experience challenges: Repetitive ads and poorly timed interruptions are major annoyances. Only 13% are most irritated by irrelevant ads. Want to learn about what these figures mean and how to translate them into smart AVOD strategies?
