I didn’t see through to the end because Rossman was making the same point over and over and over and over. But what he didn’t talk about is that Netflix specifically does not provide the highest tier of quality to PCs. That’s to prevent piracy of super high quality streams. The blockage is very much intentional and not without cause. Similarly, Netflix often does not play well with a whole host of Android streaming devices over which they have no control of the stream for exactly the same reason.
I agree with him otherwise, I just wish he’d have gone into those reasons. Your super fast gaming rig being ‘not compatible’ has nothing to do with its impressive hardware specs.
Hm, I did not see the video, but I think if I’d pay for a product and get a weaker quality than 1. I paid for and 2. possible on my machine - I would be hesitant to accept a reasoning that has nothing to do with my usage of the service.
Is the potential piracy (that happens anyway) outweighing the bad customer experience?
What I mean to say is, if I pay for my product, and have capable hardware - I think from the customer perspective I am in a position to complain if I don’t get the quality I paid for.

You gotta pad out your content if you want to churn multiple episodes a week that are hours long.
