Supplemental context
Binge-watching is a viewing practice rather than a single program. A 2021 study by Bridget Rubenking and Cheryl Campanella Bracken compares it with appointment viewing and self-paced serial viewing using surveys of US university students in 2015 and 2020. This distinction is useful: watching a story on one's own schedule does not always mean consuming many episodes in one sitting. For future readers, the selection shows that culture includes the timing and setting of consumption as well as the works being consumed. An archive can preserve those habits without assuming one way of watching describes everyone.
Creator/community: Television and streaming audiences; broadcasters, distributors and platform designers Place/era: International viewing practice, especially discussed in the 2010s and 2020s
Context and limits
The study's student samples do not establish worldwide prevalence. Definitions vary, and the original 2010s label should not imply that extended viewing began only with streaming. No health diagnosis or claim about an individual viewer follows from this cultural description. The screen image is abstract and not a service interface.
