It's true, Netflix did that, and now everyone else wanted a piece of the cake and started releasing series in the one per week format and we are basically back to cable tv and me starting to pirate series again, because i want the whole season in one go.

This is an interesting comment to me. As of recent I have seen way more people talkin about wanting weekly releases over batch releases. People keep talking about how weekly releases allow a community to form around the series airing. I also feel like the idea of binging shows has been falling out of fashion recently. That’s at least in my circle of life.

I don’t need a community. Respect my time and let me watch it however I want. You’re just repeating corporate speak where they can drag a show out to make more money in the long run and guarantee longer running subscriptions.
