#42I wonder if there will be any long term reputational repercussions for Netflix because of this. Amongst SWEs, Netflix is known for hiring the best people and their streaming service normally seems very solid. Other streaming services have definitely caught up a bit and are much more reliable then in the early days, but my impression still has always been that Netflix is a step above the rest technically. This sure do…
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.

I think they have to refund the fees for a month to anyone who streamed this fight. That's the only thing that seems fair.
It has been pretty useless. At the moment seems to be working only when running in non-live mode several minutes behind.
So if there are 1 million trying to stream it, that means they would lose $15 million. So.. they might only give a partial refund.
But people should push for an automatic refund instead of a class action.

#44A friend and I, in separate states, found that it wouldn’t stream from TVs, Roku, etc. but would stream from mobile. And for me, using a mobile hotspot to a laptop; though that implies checking IP address range instead of just user-agent, so that seems unlikely. Anyway, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were prioritizing mobile traffic because it’s more forgiving of shitty bitrate.
I just left a bar streaming it on a smart TV and back in my home it's streaming on the Roku just fine.

Yeah, the funny part is that Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Peacock have all demonstrated the ability to handle an event of this caliber with no issue. Netflix now may never get another opportunity like this again.
Sure they will. They’ll just set up the next event and outside of some tech folks no one will remember this.

Not the same demographic but their last large attempt at live was through a Love is blind reunion. It was the same thing, millions of people logging in, epic failure, nothing worked.
They never tried to do a live reunion again. I suppose they should have to get the experience. Because they are hitting the same problems with a much bigger stake event.

Amazon Prime front page includes currently a lot of ads for movies that you can rent or ”buy”. Are you sure these movies weren’t them?
