Netflix buffering issues: Boxing fans complain about Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson

Please don't make these types of comments, they mean nothing and they serve no purpose.

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 not have power.

It doesn't advance the topic anywhere. There are other places to report these issues directly and in aggregate with other people -- HN (and many other forums) are not that place.

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

Which has many interesting facets worthy of discussion! No need to be extremely aggressive in your tone.

Why is it acceptable to share that it doesn't work but not acceptable to share that it does?

For the same reason that pointing out the sun rose in the east today would be ridiculous but if it happened to rise in the west, or you perceived it to rise in the west, that would be worth sharing.

Being able to livestream a sporting event is the default now and has been for at least over a decade since HBO’s original effort to stream a Game of Thrones season opener failed because of the MSFT guy they hired, and they fixed it by handing it over to MLBAM.

Maybe that’s what Netflix should do. Buy Disney so they can get access to the MLBAM people (now Disney Streaming because they bought it from MLB).

You are the one telling people their comments provide no value. That’s far more aggressive than using a word not even directed at you

How could that possibly be aggressive? It's not a personal indictment. Tone however, matters in any context.

I hope you find it within yourself to treat strangers nicer.

> How could that possibly be aggressive?

You butted into a conversation to tell someone their contribution added no value without adding anything constructive. A comment of “your comment is useless” is pure aggression and is ironically even less useful than the one it’s deriding.

> Tone however, matters in any context.

You are getting upset because someone used a swear word. You’ll find that is just deep seated classism and working on that will let you have much more fulfilling interactions.

Tone policing never works. It’s a waste of calories and everyone’s time.

>You butted into a conversation to tell someone their contribution added no value without adding anything constructive.

It objectively does not add anything. And there is no "butting in", public comments get public responses.

You are being extremely dishonest in your commentary here.

Again, I hope you find it within yourself to be better.
