  • Analyzed queer theory and platform studies in the context of Indian media.
  • Examined the impact of algorithmic systems and subscription models on queer narratives.
  • Evaluated the structural marginalization of queerness related to caste and vernaculars.
  • Identified conditional inclusion of queer visibility shaped by algorithms and economic models.
  • Showed that narratives aligned with cosmopolitan and English-speaking identities circulate more freely.
  • Argued that OTT platforms serve as governance infrastructures rather than liberatory spaces.
