I think it is also related to computers becoming faster as well. In the old times ftp.example.com, mail.example.com and www.example.com could be run from different machines.

I agree with you, but with shows I would say they already eat too much time so I learned to trust my gut, if it is bad after one or two episodes, I will waste my time with something else. Maybe that’s also why in general I avoid shows in recent years. I prefer self-contained content. A series were every episode is its own thing with little or no overarching plot line. Like Columbo series which I love.

Then they will not release movies to get tax breaks. Bunch of geniuses.

It is a shittext. But yes, the implication is of psychological nature.
