It’s when you deliberately slow down your pace of watching a show, taking as long as possible to finish it so you can stay in its world a little longer. Never heard this before! Jason Kottke has good taste in shows, too:

The buzziest new thing in social networking is a big deal. It’s also very confusing. And it’s not actually new. Let’s talk about it.
Neal Mohan, the CEO of YouTube, just published his annual letter, which is sort of a State of The YouTube Union address. There’s nothing new in here, really: YouTube is big on AI, loves creators, etc. etc. But I was yet again surprised by how big a subscription business YouTube is:
We’re excited to announce that we have more than 8 million subscribers to YouTube TV. And we passed 100 million Music and Premium subscribers, including trials.
However big you think YouTube is... it’s probably bigger.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell just gave a really interesting (and surprisingly thorough!) answer to a question about how the NFL thinks about streaming. He gives Peacock and YouTube and others a lot of credit, but ultimately: “We are really committed to broadcast television.”
And when he was asked if an all-streaming Super Bowl might be coming, Goodell was pretty clear: “Not in my time.” The whole thing’s a good state-of-streaming summary, it’s worth a watch.
