So on the contrary, it is a strength. If certain content is best released weekly or on certain days of the week (or even a certain time on a designated day) then that’s what they do. And the audience can view it either straight away or at any time at their convenience.
It’s entirely a weakness. A streaming service can never achieve the levels of social media engagement a linear channel has because it defines exactly when a substantial proportion of viewers will watch.

The best bit, of course, is a linear channel additionally makes the content available on demand. Therefore catering for everyone.
