In the transition from the immediate gratification of linear broadcasting to the high-friction selection environment of over-the-top (OTT) platforms, the user experience has morphed from "watching" to "thinking about watching." This cognitive friction acts as a churn catalyst, as prolonged search times fundamentally degrade the perception of leisure, transforming relaxation into a high-stakes decision-making task. When the selection stage exceeds the engagement stage, the resulting psychological fatigue directly compromises subscription renewals.The "Paradox of Choice" theory suggests that vast libraries, while intended as competitive advantages, often result in decision fatigue. In the OTT ecosystem, this produces a high-cognitive-load environment that paralyzes the user
