    And then you end up with a 6 hour story chopped to shit and get a very disjointed movie that feels like you’re watching what was left of the film stock after Bubba Sawyer had a turn in the editing room.

      No. Good movie editing has been happening since shortly after movies were a thing. Huge books have been made into really good movies. Streaming has opened up new outlet for mini-series like content and some of it really takes advantage of the format to deliver new kinds of story telling that can be worth the time investment. However, most of it is just about generating content with minimal editing and borrowing hook techniques that evolved from TV drama series in the 80s and 90s.
