“To attract viewers, Netflix is doing something I think is an absolutely genius idea: offering all the episodes of its shows at launch. So, if you’re really into the show and you don’t want to wait to watch the next episode, you don’t have to… it makes me wonder why we’re forced into arbitrary waiting games today.

It takes years.”—Steve Jobs quoted in The Atlantic: From Walkman to iPod: What Music Tech Teaches Us About Innovation
