It’s an ironic end to the streaming wars. After pouring billions and billions of dollars into constructing supposedly revolutionary streaming platforms, and decimating the business models that had offered the industry stability for decades, the ultimate product looks awfully similar to what companies and consumers were trying to break free from in the first place.
I’ll still take streaming any day over cable.
No contract and you can put everything in rotation. Sign up for a month, binge, cancel, next.
The streaming companies are starting to get wise to that. They’ve started splitting seasons and releasing them separately so that you have to be subbed for 2 months.
Or they could release one per week, two batches isn’t really “starting to get wise to that” imho.
Either way, being patient is the best and only paying for one month
I think it’s just the beginning. They’ll split seasons eventually into 3 or more parts. Or if you wait till all seasons are released, they’ll paywall earlier parts. They know people won’t wait that long, especially with how easy it is to have things spoiled by social media or among friends/co-workers.
The difference between watching something programmers and on demand is big. I still detest the newer prices though coupled with the decline in interesting content.

That’s not going to last. As soon as they run the numbers and decide it’s worth it, they’ll create ways to lock you in.

I’d just wait until the second part is out, sub one month.
Well I’ll subscribe for the second month.
Congrats. Patience is a much-neeeded virtue, especially when it comes to TV series you like.

Not if they start to limit you to 3 episodes of a particular series per week
