With video games (possibly one of the earliest media in which good audience control is praised), they're rated for replay-ability, and while the traditionally second viewing of a movie would take place via home video, premieres are coming through smaller, and more portable screens. Among documentary, suspense, fantasy, news, and online, every single category of video looks to engage viewers and keep them engaged.
