"The golden period of television has moved to the
screen in our hands, as streaming in the era of OTT(over-thetop) platforms. However, among OTT users, disengagement and
platform churn are becoming more frequent. This study
examines sentiment analysis in the context of OTT content
through a comparative analysis of machine learning (ML) and
deep learning (DL) models on user reviews from the Google Play
Store and Apple App Store. We analyzed 56,351 user reviews
from ten popular OTT apps, classifying them as positive
(21,446), neutral (19,120), and negative (15,785). Preprocessed
and feature-extracted data was fed to both ML models (Logistic
Regression, XGBoost, etc.) and DL models (BiLSTM, LSTM,
CNN). All of these are capable of extracting textual
characteristics and insights from datasets and are also used to
capture complex sentiment nuances in user reviews. BiLSTM, a
deep learning algorithm, surpassed all other models, achieving
an astounding 92% accuracy compared to Logistic regression,
which achieved 66.62% accuracy and was the best-performing
machine learning model in capturing user sentiment."
