I 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 doesn't help with that impression, and it hasn't just been a momentary glitch but hours of instability. And the Netflix status page saying "Netflix is up! We are not currently experiencing an interruption to our streaming service." doesn't help either...

There's an upcoming NFL game on Netflix next month. They need to get their shit together.

Two games actually, both on Christmas Day. A day when most people are at home or the home of family or friends, and they are both pretty good late-season matchups (Chiefs-Steelers and Ravens-Texans) so I imagine viewership will be high.

If they botch the NFL games, it will surely hurt their reputation.
