Everyone here talking like this something unique netflix had to deal with. Hotstar live streamed india va Pakistan cricket match with zero issues with all time high live viewership ever in the history of live telecast. Why would viewers paying $20 month want to think about their technical issues, they dropped the ball pure and simple. Tech already exists for this, it’s been done before even by espn, nothing new here.

> with zero issues

depending on whom you ask, the bitrate used by the stream is significantly lower than what is considered acceptable from free livestreaming services, that albeit stream to much, much smaller audience.

without splitting hairs, livestreaming was never their forte, and going live with degradation elsewhere is not a great look for our distributed computing champ.
