In the last year I've been invited to watch parties for the presidential election, a G.L.O.W. binge, the Game of Thrones season premier, and the first couple of Twin Peaks episodes. FWIW, the physical constraints are big aspects preventing people organizing more. The hosts have to make sure their house is clean, people have to stay up later to travel and/or clean up, they don't get to watch in their boxers. Making it virtual on Facebook would relieve all of those practical constraints, not to mention that lots of people have an itch to check Facebook while they watch anyway (which is not a positive thing, but there it is.) On the downside, it punishes people who can't start exactly on time and prevents people pausing to grab a drink or go to the bathroom, so it isn't purely a no-brainer. People who "fall out of sync" would need to disconnect to avoid spoilers. |

They are also big aspects of the value!
When someone says "it sure is hard to get my friends together for a party", it's not completely helpful to answer "so don't get together"
