I think ease of access has fostered an unnecessary sense of completionism. "Oh you missed it live? No worries, you can watch at any time with the click of a button, I'm sure you'll find time for it".

So when this announcement of a 4th hour came out, you can see people on their Reddit page groaning about "needing" to find time to watch a 4th hour.

And it's like...umm, you don't have to! I think in AEW's case there's the added deal with it being a company that a bunch of their fans have followed from day one, and during the pandemic it felt sorta "unifying" to have a nice 2 hour diversion from the world every week. But it was always inevitable the company would get more TV if Turner was happy with them, and there's no need to force yourself to watch those extra shows if they aren't of interest.
