ELI5: Why do shows like Netflix's "House of Cards" release all their episodes on a single day once a year?

It seems to me that shows released weekly or in some sort of order (like Game of Thrones) generate prolonged publicity (news articles, online discussion) between episodes, while shows like "House of Cards" are super popular for those few weeks after release but then dies down for the rest of the year.

Its a different market approach.

Cable (and HBO) subscribers are used to the typical "one a week" format so that is how the shows are released

Netflix users are more "binge" watchers, so they release everything at once to satisfy them.
