Eh? It certainly wasn't much of a thing especially with ongoing shows, and even for older ones you had to be invested enough to purchase DVDs or wait for cable to re-run (which had a ton of ads)
Binging just means to consume large amounts of something. I guess it means to consume new TV shows, specifically, nowadays. In which case, I'm just an old man yelling at clouds and I'm sorry.
It doesn’t, TechCrunch is always full of shit.
Binge-watching has been a thing for at decades, long before Netflix started enabling it. I had VHS tapes of shows I loved that I taped off of live TV. VHS tapes weren’t super expensive by the late nineties so I had several tapes of the Simpsons.
I also downloaded shows in the early 2000s to binge-watch.
Even on regular television binge watching was possible. CSI, Law&Order, General Hospital, Days of our lives..... And many more would do marathons all the time.
I was going to say I remember Law and Order SVU marathons all the time
