Perspectives

As a researcher, I find this study fascinating because it delves into the complex relationships between fansub videos, sponsors, and viewer attitudes. The positive attitudes we found toward fansub videos, sponsors, and sponsorship demonstrate a growing interest in online courses and reveal the potential for brands to strategically utilize these platforms for marketing. Our research contributes to a deeper understanding of the dynamics between viewers, sponsors, and content creators. As we continue to explore these relationships, we hope our findings can help inform more effective marketing strategies and support the ongoing development and expansion of online education.
