People use platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, Jio Hotstar, and Sony LIV to watch movies, series, and live content. Each platform offers different types of content, pricing, and user experience. So, it is important to understand whether users actually feel a difference between these platforms or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><b><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;color: #366091;font-size: 14pt\">Objective<\/span><\/b><b><\/b><\/h1>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: Cambria;font-size: 11.0000pt\">The main objective of this study is to compare different OTT platforms using user ratings and check whether there is any significant difference among them with the help of ANOVA.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><b><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;color: #366091;font-size: 14pt\">Literature Review<\/span><\/b><b><\/b><\/h1>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: Cambria;font-size: 11.0000pt\">Previous studies suggest that the popularity of OTT platforms depends on factors like content quality, subscription price, and ease of use. Also, statistical tools like ANOVA are useful when we want to compare more than two groups at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><b><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;color: #366091;font-size: 14pt\">Data Collection<\/span><\/b><b><\/b><\/h1>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: Cambria;font-size: 11.0000pt\">The data for this study was collected through a Google Form survey. Each platform received 32 responses. Respondents rated platforms on a scale of 1 to 10. Platforms included: Netflix, Prime Video, Jio Hotstar, and Sony LIV.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><b><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;color: #366091;font-size: 14pt\">Data
