Amazing how older series were able to produce many more episodes per season, with a more limited budget, and only a few months between them.

The old adage "less is more" comes to mind.

Once a user is out of the routine, they often don't come back. Weekly episode drops is what you should expect, just like traditional tv.

18 months is about the amount of time it takes me to forget most of the details of a show, and therefore any sense of personal investment in it.

Fuck netflix, everything about them screams "we just want money".

Just like every other streaming playform btw.

Immediate reward addiction finally showing in a way the general public can't overlook.

As long as I hear about a second season, I'll watch if it's a show I liked. It can be years later. For instance, Party Down got a third season 13 years after season two.

Hearing about it is the trick, though, because I block ads and don't subscribe. So, they don't GAF about me anyway.

For instance, Party Down got a third season 13 years after season two.

And it was pretty good, too! I'm so grateful that unexpected third season didn't taint the show's legacy.

No shit, Sherlock. Everyone has been complaining about that since Stranger Things season 2.

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 10 points 2 days ago

Season 2 was the last Stranger Things I watched, and even then I watched it years after it was released.

Another finding from the Duh Hickey Institute
