Također, istraživanjem će se ispitati stavovi pojedinaca o streaming servisima, te navike tijekom gledanja sadržaja. Isto tako, istražiti će se učestalost korištenja streaming servisa i predviđanja ispitanika o budućnosti ovakvog oblika pružanja usluga gledanja određenog sadržaja. Istraživanje je provedeno Internet anketnim upitnikom na uzorku od 253 osobe. Analizom istraživanja utvrdilo se da su ljudi u velikoj mjeri upoznati sa streaming servisima i da koriste njihove usluge za gledanje sadržaja. Način gledanja sadržaja se poklapa s tvrdnjama iznesenim u teorijskom dijelu rada. A to je da se ovakve usluge koriste većinom za gledanje serija, i da se najćeše gleda više epizoda odjednom. Istraživanje je pokazalo da je najveća prednost servisa njihova dostupnost i lakoća korištenja, a najveći nedostatak potreba korištenja interneta za konzumiranje sadržaja i visoka cijena.
