    I guess it means to consume new TV shows, specifically, nowadays.

    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.
