I quit netflix about a year ago. I watched ST 1-4 nd was excited to see the series conclusion. So much time has gone by that I don't really care if I see the final season.
Same I'm done it feels like it been fucking over a decade since season 1. This show should have been done years ago. I'm over it and don't care how it ends. Maybe one day I will see it, but I have better shows to be excited about.
My assumption is they are trying to get the “Family Christmas movie” crowd that goes see a movie on Christmas, and they are hoping a month is enough time for everyone to watch volume 1. Gathering the family to watch Stranger things would be cheaper than going out.
I'm fine with the release of a single episode every week like if it were running on TV. I love when all episodes are out on the release day, as I could binge watch them.
From Netflix' POV it's probably that they're trying to maximize customer retention? If everything is out on day one, I could subscribe for a single month and then cancel the subscription. But I don't really see a difference to releasing the episodes regularly besides, that I may now binge watch at three different dates instead of 1-3 days after release?

I honestly can't remember a single fucking thing that happened in the last season. Nothing.

This is not the way to release a show.
It's holiday season, people are traveling and people are hanging out with different people who are in different states of watching the show.
January is the dump month, so I guess it's a free space, but huge miss.

The staggered release is annoying but will be watching anyway

Same. I don't really get why.

Yes, make no sense to me why they don't release it weekly. It would make more sense. Especially with episodes more than 90 minutes long...
