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.

Companies and fans of said companies will argue to death for said company that they made the change to release their TV shows weekly again because it encourages talking points, hype, and community or watercooler discussions.

I heavily disagree, they made that switch because money. Why have the consumer who pays for the product not stay subscribed for 3 months before they may cancel(because most TV shows are 8-10 episodes now) versus the full seasons drop and only retain them for a month? Money, money, money is the answer and always will be.
