Why OTT series is taking over daily Indian soaps?

Good Morning, Respected Principal Ma’am, teachers, and my dear


friends. Today, I, Pawani Arora, a student of class XI-B1 going to
speak on ‘Why OTT series is taking over daily Indian soaps?’
There used to be a time when not only adults but children too used
to gather around the tv to watch soaps together like Ramayan and
Mahabharat but nowadays people prefer ott platforms like Netflix,
prime, etc. because over time the content of the daily soaps has
deteriorated a lot. The soaps usually air with a good motive and
story but with time they tend to lose the motive along with the story,
the story is stretched just for the sake of viewership and most of the
episodes just show the clips of the previous episode to extend its
time-lapse, plus, most of the shows follow the same storyline but
with different actors which shows the lack of creativity but this is
different when it comes to ott series, they usually have very fewer
episodes in comparison and don’t unnecessarily extend the time,
they show quality and trending content which attracts the
viewership, especially young generations and they are usually
target audience.
In the end, I want to say that not every daily soap is bad, some are
actually really good and follow great and entertaining storyline
which engages the viewers but most of them are just not it. The
irony is that the ott audience wants more episodes but doesn’t get
it but the soaps just drag the episodes even when no one wants it
to.
