Stranger things too.

  Stranger Things is generally a much better show than Game of Thrones (in my opinion of course, but I’m pretty sure I’m objectively correct). But Game of Thrones seemed to make a much bigger cultural splash. Stranger Things—a season comes out, and then we all binge it, talk about that season, and it it all done in a month or so. Game of Thrones had weekly episode-by-episode articles written about it.

    Stretching out the advertising is a huge reason why they want to delay releasing episodes. I value my time and setting my own schedule higher. I think that as long as the shows are good they'll find an audience and sustain cultural relevancy long after the ads have moved on to shoving the next thing in our faces.

      Stretching out the subscription time seems like another big deal. Disney+ seems to have worked out a magnificently infuriating cadence of one interesting episode per week. There’s always just enough around the corner to not cancel the subscription…

        That feels very user hostile.
