Abstract

           The study used a quantitative method through an online questionnaire to examine how Thai viewers of Gluta Story Club Facebook page react to the use of viral animals’ content. Briefly, the study found the viral animals’ contents on online media did not impact to Thai online viewers. The viewers’ perception and attitude results are at the level of neutral, and the behavior is at a some-time level. Even though the viral animals’ contents do not have an impact towards Thai online viewers concerning their perception, attitude, and behavior, the study found that the participants will retrieve and consume the viral animals’ contents in all type no matter what. The reason is that the participants’ interest is drawn towards animals, and they consume the viral animals’ content to entertain themselves. Nevertheless, the results are based on only the participants of the case sample study in the Gluta Story Club, meaning that the results from different samples could lead to different results.

I am one of a cat and a dog person and almost watching viral animals for entertaining. However, I would like to know that though the viral animals did not impact to Thai viewers, why the client still hire the animal contents? what are factors to motivate them?

I would say that the clients hired the animals contents in the same reason tht they are hiring the internet famous. And also as I got the opinion in the Suggestion part, animal lover tend to consumed the contents beacuse they want to see the animals. For example, if I know the animals in one advertising; I tend to pay more attention to that contents but based from my research it doesn't quarantee the point of consume the products.
