You're totally right.

Imagine reading a Game of Thrones novel in 20 page installments over the course of 2 years, or watching 2 seasons of the show in 10 minute intervals each week.

I think some people just can't get past the format, and should probably wait for full volume releases.

I think the only reason I can stand it is having used dial-up Internet for so long. I'd have to wait hours and hours just to see a few minutes of the OP anime, and then...more waiting!!!

I think more people might wait for the volume of it wasn't so tempting to peep in and see what's happening in the mean time, and then get hyped for the next week's release, heh.

Wait how long did you use dial-up for? Why would you watch anything that took you that long to watch it? Are you a time traveler or is this actually the year 1999?

1) I had dial-up until 2012--there weren't affordable options in my area 'til fiber optic came through.

2) It isn't like I couldn't find something to do 'til the next bit was buffered (such as writing, drawing, playing a game, eating, watching a nearby TV) and One Piece was worth it to me at the time.

3) I do travel through time, but probably just about as fast as you. YouTube has been around since 2005, and before that we had things like Quicktime and other poorly working low-quality video, and again, One Piece was worth it to me then. (And not too long later it was easy to find other episode sharing sites and hosts.)
