I won’t argue that they shouldn’t have done better, I’m only pointing out that this is fairly different from their usual product. Amazon, YouTube, and Hulu all have a ton of experience with live streaming by now. Apple has live streamed wwdc for several years.

I did expect that Netflix would have appropriately accounted for demand and scale, though, especially given the hype for this particular event.

Even Amazon doesn't have it perfected for Live.

Live sports and VOD movies/TV are very different beasts.
