I think when he says "viewers are not able to hold the strings together in their head or have no desire to keep track." I heard "it's quite tricky to keep small details/nuances in ones head over time, and they don't want to have to keep re-watching episodes/take notes to remind themselves"
There are some shows that hint at things, imply things, and don't outright scream "remember this it's important" which can make bringing the threads together over the course of weeks hard without continual "last time on [showname]".
These stories are served better when the episodes aren't spread out over the course of half a year.
