six hours early on netflix for a gta preview is so stupid i respect it

rockstar found a way to put early access on a trailer. incredible work. netflix gets the gta 6 extended look six hours before youtube on august 27 and i genuinely cannot decide if this is genius marketing or the dumbest version of fomo we have invented yet. i am obviously not subscribing to netflix for six hours. i will also obviously spend those six hours avoiding every screenshot, clip, fake leak, reaction thumbnail and guy posting THEY ACTUALLY DID IT with no context. the funny part is rockstar does not even need this. they could upload a 14 second clip of jason opening a car door and the entire internet would inspect the reflection in the window for three days. so yeah i hate the idea. also kind of fascinated that gta hype is now big enough to make the advertisement itself a timed exclusive.
