I suspect what Amazon did with wheel of time and rings of power to be a less brutal method: weekly episode release. Disney does this too.
If they have enough “must-watch” shows that are staggered then you lose out unless you’re paying constantly.
It’s what they want: gets them som earned media/socialmedia hype, and prevents the binge+drop discount watching approach.
- bigger_cheese 4y agoI think the release cadence can be a double edged sword for viewer retention. Certainly with Wheel of Time I felt that there was a few weak\boring episodes in a row and I hit the point where I dropped it, for me wasn't worth waiting a full week to see if quality of subsequent episodes improved. If there had of been a buffer of episodes available I could probably power through the bad episodes until the show picked up again but with weekly release cadence it just caused me to give up on it.
