Thank you for summing up my manifestos in a handful of words.
I would toss in this: Netflix dumping entire seasons at once has also really screwed with things, and it's actually hurt TV in some ways. With Game of Thrones or various other shows that have their own threads here in M&T, when episodes were dripped once a week, it gave people a chance to think about stuff, to talk about it with family or friends or co-workers. It also meant that TV shows could build an audience over time as people got roped into conversations they overheard.
With Netflix dumping everything at once, you've created a chasm within your audience - those who binge it in fairly short order (whether it be a weekend or say at night during the week) and they are chomping at the bit to talk. Then you've got everybody else who don't have the time or energy and so are catching a few here or there, or worse, deciding that it will always be on Netflix so it can be pushed off.
These two groups are not going to come together to compare notes (or if they do it's weeks/months later) and there's no shared experience of basically watching the shows together as they air once a week, so there's no hype train.
The only thing saving some of these shows is that social media is filling in for the water cooler and the various clips that get posted online do bring in new viewers, but it's not the same shared experience as we had in the past with Sopranos, Game of Thrones, Mandalorian, or whatever else you can think of that aired once a week.
