Among the findings of the study, conducted among 1,200 people nationwide who identify as Gen Z (55% female, 45% male):
-- 43% of respondents found the presentation and display of
content a bigger trust factor than the source of the content.
-- 65% of respondents claim to view more ads on their mobile devices than any other screen -- yet 31% stated that
they’re rarely exposed to mobile ads. This finding may suggest that Gen Z is unable to identify certain kinds of ads. Only about 3% of respondents reported using ad blockers.
--
46% of those polled were willing to click on content that’s clearly sponsored.
-- 33% of Gen Z is willing to share video content they find either funny or fear-inducing, over other
factors that could generate the desire to share content.
The findings paint an interesting picture concerning trust for news/media/content sources, and how Gen Z, consume, share and understand ad vs. editorial content, according to eZanga.
