Netflix is not killing the binge model, contrary to news reports – but maybe it ought to
BGR
2022 has ushered in a slew of changes for Netflix subscribers, with the streamer finally jettisoning some of the principles it had once considered sacrosanct. Subscriptions, for example, now include more than just movies and TV shows -- also, now, mobile video games exclusive to Netflix. An ad tier is also coming in November, while Netflix is moving to crack down on password-sharing. And on Friday, multiple blogs and news sites declared an even bigger change is coming: A larger, maybe even a complete, shift away from the all-at-once-release of Netflix shows.
Those reports were all based on the same source. It was the What I'm Hearing email newsletter from former Hollywood Reporter editor Matt Belloni, who's now with Puck News. He's since clarified that everybody basically read into his newsletter something that wasn't there, which I'll elaborate on below.
Be that as it may, though, and as dramatic as such a shift might sound for Netflix, here's the thing. Ready or not, that train is (kind of) already leaving the streaming station.
