Should Netflix Release TV Episodes Weekly?

For me, I wouldn't tune in week to week just to watch a TV series on Netflix. I'd just wait until they released the last episode of the season and still binge watch the series. Either that or watch it on a pirate streaming service.

Since TV started coming to DVD, that's pretty much how I've watched shows. Wait until it's released.

And I've never understood this obsession with "Ooh, but we have to talk about it with each other!!!". Fan******y is bad enough as is, now people want to prevent everyone else from just watching a damn show so they can have a week between episodes to formulate their fanwank headcanon?

Edit: I never would have thought that word was censored. It's so innocuous in the US.
