Shows that are continuously putting out episodes are not necessarily long-winded...most shows I "follow" (there's only 3) are on season 2 or 3 and do either batch releases of a few episodes or release single episodes one at a time.

It's just nice that when I have the time to watch them, I don't first have to check if something has come out and then wait for it to download (even though I have gigabit), it's just already there and ready to go. Why wouldn't I want that? What would I possibly gain by having this be a manual task instead? Spending 5-10min finding itin the resolution etc. that I want and then another 10-20min waiting for it to download compared to just opening jellyfin and seeing "ooh, another episode dropped, neat!"...do you prefer finding what you want to watch on e.g. Netflix, and then wait 10-20min for it to buffer before you can watch it over instantly beginning streaming it?
