I don’t think the schedule argument is a strong one these days. DVRs have been around for decades now, and built into satellite and cable services too. In fact, some TVs even have DVR functionality built in.

What annoys me is when streaming services release shows on a weekly basis. Which makes them just as inconvenient to watch as traditional broadcasting.



you could just, like, watch it the next day

do you need to binge all of the episodes at once?


But my point was that you cannot watch it the next day. You have to wait until the following week.

And why shouldn’t people binge all the episodes at once? If that’s how they want to watch a series then who are we to say it’s wrong?

Let’s also not forget that the entire point of this tangent was people wanting to watch shows on their own schedule.
