Netflix Long Term View
Maybe it's just me. But one thing about linear (live) broadcasts -- and this also applies to an extent to live radio vs. mp3's -- is that there is just something engaging about watching a program that you know other people, at that moment, are also watching.It's also missed when watching a show that you DVR'ed, after the fact -- like the series finale to Lost, or the Super Bowl.If/when live broadcasts are completely a thing of the past, I think this sense of engagement will be lost forever, and people won't even realize what they're missing out on.In a way, it's sort of like watching someone play a video game live on Twitch vs. watching it on Youtube.Does anyone else know and also feel this sense I'm talking about?
