- Abstract
Online short video platform usually adopts advertising mode and mixed mode as the pricing mode. How to choose the optimal pricing mode for the online short video platform is a topic worthy of our attention. This paper discusses the pricing mode that should be adopted by the online short video platform and investigates the effects of the viewer's nuisance cost and cross-network externality intensity on the pricing mode selection of short video platform. The results show that, when the viewer's nuisance cost is low and the intensity of cross-network externality is high, the platform should choose the advertising mode; otherwise, it should choose the mixed mode; when the cost is high and the intensity is low, the advertising price under the advertising mode is higher than that under the mixed mode; otherwise, the advertising price under the advertising mode is lower than that under the mixed mode; when the cost is relatively low and regardless of the intensity, the payment cost under the mixed mode is higher than that under the advertising mode; otherwise, the payment cost under the mixed mode is lower than that under the mixed mode. Importantly, we also find that, under certain conditions, interests of online short video platform and video content providers may be inconsistent.
