I’d rather these shitfaggots just let me binge the fucking season. What’s the point of streaming if we’re gonna stop follow their gay ass American Inventor Jew formats?

especially when it's on Prime. at least with every other service i can kinda understand wanting that resub retention.

The real benefit is it remains in the public consciousness much longer.

It’s like time gating in a MMO: sure having everything all available is great in the moment, but then you poopsock it and complain you’re bored because you’ve exhausted all the content

The “dump it all” streaming thing basically guarantees a show burns bright and then completely peters out after a couple weeks. Everything gets spoiled, turning off potential viewers. And people who did binge are now bored because they used up all the content in a weekend

Honestly the spoiler thing is big. Social media has people spoiling shit before episodes even leak. If a series drops all at once, even though I like to binge it all at once, it's inevitable some dipshit on social media is like "I CANT BELIEVE THE GHOUL KILLED LUCY" within the first 24 hours it drops. And it's not like I'm searching that shit, even doom scrolling through you see some little thing regarding a show then read it and it's all fucked.

This is true. You have to basically stay off of twitter the day episodes air.

It has gotten worse these past few years as well - in the past the spoiler clips at least tried to keep things vague/misleading with the thumbnail, now they have a full on screengrab of the most spoilerific part with a headline that also spoils.

Like people mentioned, I just stay off social media/youtube if I care about watching a show or playing through a game where i enjoy the story

I was not able to see the 1st of the newest Star Wars until the 2nd week. Google fucking news ruined that Solo died in a headline. Minor as the movie and the 2 that followed were poor shit dribbled garbage but you would think it was safe to look at the news. Not the entertainment section mind you, the 'news for you' part.

Yeah having an android phone and using Chrome I've had shit pop up in suggested news like that as well. Very annoying, same goes for YT thumbnails and video suggestions.
