i used to enjoy netflix’s model of just dropping whole seasons at once bc i am generally pretty bad at keeping up with shows when theyre released weekly, so its nice to know when im starting it that i dont have to worry about catching up and then just. never watching again for some reason, missing out on plot details and such

but as ive gotten older i like it less and less bc if you want fandom engagement, youre going to want to release it on a weekly basis. you can see how many people tune in, people talk about it and make their silly posts, which in turn can help draw others in. plus having it on a weekly basis helps draw out the hype. you know for a fact people will be talking about your show for at least however many weeks its airing, which means it will be in the spotlight. plus when its a weekly release everyone is able to talk freely out the episodes bc you dont have to worry about where they are in the show. you can look at posts not having to worry about spoilers bc like. unless there are leaks, what youre going to be seeing is purely speculative

idk, i know netflix has been doing some weekly releases for some of their shows and delayed releases for others but like. i think they need to go towards a model of weekly releases
