And yet, every other streaming app that is not YouTube is quite laggy across devices...
- bombcar 4y agoNetflix has a really good CDN but I’ve not really had to deal with buffering on Prime or Disney+ and if I do it’s just seconds or two (probably could be solved by predictive pre-caching). Streaming sites are “good enough” now and will live:die on content.
- chrischen 4y agoI regularly use other streaming apps and if Netflix has some magic performance advantage it really isn’t large enough to really be noticeable, and certainly not large enough to displace the actual content that is available. I honestly have no idea what all that engineering talent is doing such that HBO Max is able to replicate 95% of the technology experience.
- scarface74 4y agoI’ve never had any lag from any of the major content providers. Streaming pre-recorded content at scale once you have good content is solved problem. How do you think all of the content providers were able to offer a streaming offering so quickly? They threw money at third parties.
