Nope.
This is the right way to approach all streamers, IMO.The biggest issue that I have with Paramount+ is that they have a small group of good shows, and the rest is junk.
I've gotten into the habit of subscribing to watch the few shows I like, and unsubscribing after I've completed the current season.
Under no circumstances am I paying for something that would make me more likely to go to Walmart.free delivery from your store, member prices on fuel at select stations, and use of mobile scan & go, which enables you to scan items as you shop in-store, streamlining your checkout process
That's not my experience. Putting a whole season out at once used to be the norm for streaming services, but hasn't been for quite some time.And the whole drag..............it out for weeks and weeks, does not work much anymore. A lot of people hate to wait a week or more between episodes. A lot more people would prefer to watch it once it came "out": so they could watch two episodes a night, four a night or even 'binge watch" them all. But there is no point in paying for a subscription for three mouths when you won't be watching the "live" show each week.
Netflix still does, and they are number 1. And Disney+ is moving towards a full Seaspn dump now, moving forwards.That's not my experience. Putting a whole season out at once used to be the norm for streaming services, but hasn't been for quite some time.
And making these shows "event TV" to be discussed and dissected with friends in person or with strangers online has made that format more accepted.
You can't easily do that when a whole season hits all at once. Either you have to binge it all quickly to avoid spoilers and then wait for everyone else to catch up, or jump into discussions before you've finished it and risk being spoiled, or watch it at your own pace and avoid discussions in the meantime, only to find that most of the things you wanted to talk about have been done to death, and the conversations have become stale.
Dump or weekly, its all in the writing. Event TV isnt easy. HBO is very good at it, Amazon sucks badly.That's not my experience. Putting a whole season out at once used to be the norm for streaming services, but hasn't been for quite some time.

I don't think it can be denied that there was plenty of lively discussion each week about Rings of Power.Dump or weekly, its all in the writing. Event TV isnt easy. HBO is very good at it, Amazon sucks badly.
Because all services are not equal. Netflix has plenty of new content each month, plus they get other content.That's not my experience. Putting a whole season out at once used to be the norm for streaming services, but hasn't been for quite some time.
And they do try to hype it up. But not everyone is so excited to talk about TV shows. And like half the world does not watch them live anyway.And making these shows "event TV" to be discussed and dissected with friends in person or with strangers online has made that format more accepted.
It is easy for some people to avoid: you just avoid social media and don't have talkative immature friends.You can't easily do that when a whole season hits all at once.

Pretty much exactly this.The problem is that under that top tier of Trek and an upcoming D&D series and whatever other original stuff you care about and a few Paramount movies the service's content quickly falls to z-grade dreck (in my eyes at least).
This is correct, but I think it's too late for the genie to go back in the bottle, especially because of the continuing subscriptions issue and the fact that there are an ever-increasing number of competing streaming channels.I think that's likely a pattern that was created by the streaming services, and may not last beyond their pushing it. It may have been good for them at the very beginning, but binge-watching isn't an economic win for the streamers, who are probably long-term better served by continuing subscriptions.
And that's ignoring the social aspect of the viewing experience that is lost with binge-viewing.
History doesn't support this opinion imho. Shows that are mediocre are often pretty successful and survive stuff that better shows but ones with narrower audiences might not. It's very easy for a show to have some element that makes it temporarily unattractive too, which is enough to delay a new season, which is enough for the actors to find new jobs, and then you're basically done in most cases.The good news is that the truly good shows (as opposed to the ones we enjoy despite knowing they're mediocre or worse) will almost all survive, as they'll be picked up by other distributors, as the model shifts to an online version of how broadcast and cable television worked for decades.
Well, it's broadly true that shows that are good in the sense that they have both critical and commercial success do well. Shows that just have critical success are probably not as "truly good" as their fans would want them to be. ("It's good for a ____ show" is a big tip-off here.)History doesn't support this opinion imho.

The funniest bit about Yellowstone is the prime series streaming rights belong to Universal (Peacock) lol.And Paramount+? It's Star Trek... and.... and.... I dunno? Yellowstone if you're into that Dynasty-type stuff. I hear it's good, but not for me. Then the rest appears to be both utter trash and no breadth or depth of offering. I just can't see ever subscribing for longer than the seasonal run of Strange New Worlds (catching up on the other shows as I go), maybe not even all of that - I could probably wait until the season is over or mostly over.
