Interactive streaming sounds great on the face of it—lean-forward experiences offer levels of engagement that passive viewing can’t compete with. However, according to Parks Associates’ Jennifer Kent, survey data reveals that consumers have privacy concerns, don’t want their shows interrupted, and voice other likes and dislikes regarding interactive streams.
“When we're asking consumers what they think about interactive TV experiences, we certainly want to understand [their concerns],” Kent says. “What's their fear? What's their concern? The number one thing is the privacy and security of their personal data and also payment information. So, we're talking about commercial experiences here. You're trusting perhaps a new entity with your payment information. A lot of these subscription services already have your billing information, so there are some services that you're already trusting there, but how is that [new] payment going to work?”
