One of the issues regarding content is that a lot of popular shows are in a format that encourages binge watching. It seems impossible that they’d ever be able to keep up with viewer appetites by creating their own content when people consume so quickly.

To combat this they buy a lot of old crappy shows and movies and the catalog ends up looking pretty average. It reminds me of the old “weeklies” section at Blockbuster.

Maybe to combat this, they’ll switch to a format where they space episodes out to keep you paying.

So, they might end up releasing episodes of popular shows weekly AND have ads. The irony.
