I've never seen a team that has somehow managed to hire exclusively morons. Even the shittiest of call center jobs and construction crews have a few people with enough brain cells to tie their shoelaces. Have you considered that maybe you're being overly harsh about your co-workers? Maybe take the fact that one of them was hired by a top paying employer as a sign that you should improve your own ability to judge skil…

I've seen tons of them! The formula is to create conditions that will make even slightly competent people leave. They hire their morron nephew, he is always 30 min late then they moan when you are 5 min late because the parking lot was blocked by their car. He always leaves 2 hours early while you do overtime that they regularly forget to pay for. Your day is filled with your own work PLUS that of your retarded cowor…

At least half of that is on you. NEVER work unpaid/unlogged OT.

Sure they will. They’ll just set up the next event and outside of some tech folks no one will remember this.

I mean, I guarantee you every boxing fan is never going to trust Netflix again for an event like this.

0 people give a shit about boxing fans. It’s not up to them.

I don't spend much time streaming, but I got a glimpse of the Amazon Prime catalog yesterday, and was surprised at how many titles on the front page were movies I'd actually watch. Reminded me of Netflix a dozen years ago.

Prime Video has to be the worst of all major streaming services. The video quality is horrible, its crippled with ads (3 not skippable ads for an episode of 45 minutes, lastly), and a lot of interesting titles are behind a "partner paywall".

I would put Prime Video at 2nd worst. Absolute worst IME is Paramount+.

Edit: worst for streaming quality

I have Netflix purchased legally with hard earned money. But because I had issues I looked for illegal streams, and they were bad, crashes, buffering.. you name it. So I went back to Netflix and watched it at 140p quality.

This twitter stream was the most reliable for me. Completely took Netflix out of the equation; just some dude at the event with his phone: https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1mrxmMRmXpQxy

Antonio Brown is not “just some dude”. He’s a national treasure.

It means, it is different if the service goes down to 100, 50, 10 percent of users. I watched the show with no issues.

Comments on forums do not provide that data. And if you want to extrapolate self-reports, it's obviously fine (to varying degrees) for the vast majority of people, but that's not the "issue." These kind of reports are the equivalent of saying "I have power" when you're hundreds of miles away from where a hurricane landed. It's uninteresting, it's likely you have power, and it does literally nothing for people that do…

You’re in a fucking thread about people commenting in a forum about an outage that may or may not have been caused by Netflix

It's also super annoying to try to watch on a computer compared to Netflix or YouTube
