Steve Smith observed that decades of online experience have shown consumer willingness to pay for "their passions." Dedicated fans of programs have long shown an interest in consuming more information and content related to the series.
"Crafting reasonably priced deep dives into these niches is one way that TV programmers can deal with the platform fragmentation currently challenging this old models.
