I hate when they release streaming shows one episode per week. I am not going to watch it until it’s done and I catch up on other shows. Stop trying to get me to watch weekly, it’s not going to happen. That’s just not how people watch tv anymore.
So a new show to me is new for a solid year before i can get to it sometimes. So many times a show gets cancelled before I can watch it and half the time I lose interest once I know it’s cancelled
I prefer it that way, because if all the episodes are available at the same time I would just binge it, which always makes me feel bad.

Is this a real thing?
Not yet, but at the rate things are going...

There is a weird inverse relationship between how long audiences will wait to give a show a chance, and how long execs (specifically Netflix) will give the show.
I think there must be more to the Netflix example. Maybe they are monitoring other data points like web searches or show mentions on fora to quantify buzz and work out if the show has hit potential with target markets. Either that or they get some new opportunity for creative accounting with each show.
It's capitalism. Unverified, but I've heard it explained as a result of tracking growth through new subscribers. Keeping around an old show won't drive new subscribers unless it's a huge show that generates a lot of buzz. New shows have a better chance of appealing to people who aren't already subscribers. So they cancel the old one and start up another new show instead.

That makes a lot of sense
