@Rob_Richie nice piece in the Times. What’s up with the ‘might be weeks before we know the outcome’ item I keep reading? RCV’s future hobbled if results take so long to tabulate. I don’t get it!
@RichLightShed ‘Can’t live without daily’ is tad hyperbolic. Obsessive North Star of maximizing a consumers time in the attention economy aside, I would prefer to have a blend. Weekly water cooler potential (GOT) and a growing library so there’s always something on. Churn issue? 🤷
Netflix was somewhat boxed in by library binging past. Genie was out of bottle. For others, if you don’t have to dump them all at once, why would you? Netflix will have trending crazy ‘opening weekends’ but they will never have a finale cultural build like GOT or Sopranos.
Why does @hbomax do weekly releases?
