“…Especially, the significance of homeland television watching and TV talks within the Korean diasporic community points to a need for researchers to give more attention to how transient migrant identity affirm and negotiate their lives through particular postcable experiences. In addition, by moving away from research focusing on Western households, this study allows an examination of how online video consumption is enabled and constrained by cultural conditions as much as technological and structural conditions (Sun et al 2013). Thus, the study’s finding emphasizes the importance of the cultural context, expression of lifestyles in the space of home, and cultural values in domestic relationships in conceptualizing domestication theory.…”

With the rapid development of new media technology, many people are “cutting the cords” and viewing television through Internet-based video services via streaming or downloading. This study aims to better understand and contextualize this phenomenon through investigating Korean transient migrants’ television-viewing practices. Through forty qualitative interviews and employing the framework of the domestication theory perspective, this article examines how these deterritorialized individuals who experience dislocation make home through cord-cutting practices. By making use of the Internet and delivery technologies/interfaces legally and illegally, Korean transient migrants go beyond territorial limitations and make home materially, feel home affectively, and connect home relationally in their diasporic space. Moreover, the study debunks some utopian ideas about online audiences and shows what remains fixed in terms of transnational postcable culture. I argue that the article provides many insights into investigating contemporary television audiences and suggest a novel approach to studying migrant media practices.

“…In the past, partners, friends, or relatives, as well as daily newspapers and magazines, recommended movies or TV shows, but nowadays, algorithmic recommendation systems have been added to many internet platforms [10] and also to VoD services [11,12]. We have found lots of studies on VoD, but only a few on information behavior concerning VoD, e.g., [13][14][15][16][17], and also a few about content selection on VoD platforms [18][19][20][21]. There are three prototypical scenarios for selecting videos by users:…”

Information Behavior on Video on Demand Services: User Motives and Their Selection Criteria for Content

Introduction. Are viewers of video-on-demand (VoD) services more intrinsically (i.e., preferentially self-determined) or extrinsically (i.e., externally determined) motivated when selecting movies and series? For extrinsic motivation, we distinguish between algorithmically generated suggestions from the services and personal recommendations from other users. Methods. We empirically investigated the information behavior on video streaming services of users from German-speaking countries with the help of an online survey (N = 1258). Results. Active VoD users watch videos online mainly on a daily basis. They are externally determined in the selection of their videos both by algorithmically generated recommendations from the systems and―to a higher extent―from personal suggestions from acquaintances, friends, and relatives. However, there is a clear indication that intrinsic motivation plays a major role in the selection of videos. Discussion. Users of VoD services move in a cycle between machine-generated recommendations, suggestions, and exchange of opinions from and with other people, and self-determined information behavior.
