However, as an important category of popular science knowledge, it has not attracted enough attention and attention. Based on the theoretical perspective of TAM and VAM models, adopt the method of questionnaire to explore the influencing factors of users' willingness to pay for popular science knowledge.The study found that content ecology can significantly and positively affect perceived usefulness; perceived usefulness, perceived cost, and interpersonal influence can significantly and positively affect willingness to pay; perception The influence of risk on users' willingness to pay is not significant; the moderating effect of platform trust is not significant, and perceived usefulness plays a partial mediating role between content ecology and willingness to pay.Finally, based on the analysis results, optimization suggestions are put forward:high quality content+technical empowerment,build a precise science knowledge demand adaptation mechanism; formulate a rational and differentiated pricing mechanism; online and offline linkages, and establish a decentralized communication system.
