Netflix Goes Down, People Freak Out and Discover Real Life

Facing issues with Netflix? You're not alone. Beginning at 3pm ET, users worldwide started to report connectivity issues with the on-demand movie and TV shows streaming service. Downdetector, a website which monitors outage also confirmed the outage with more than 7,000 user complaints. Netflix confirmed the outage in a tweet a few minutes ago, saying it was "aware of streaming issues and we are working quickly to solve them. We will update you when they are solved." Though the company hasn't offered an explanation for this outage, its servers could be seeing an unusual spike in traffic from people trying to binge watch Luke Cage, which was made available this weekend.

Anyone here uses Netflix and facing the issue too?

God help you if you have younger children who often work a certain episode of their favorite TV show into a routine request.

Oh yes, the HORROR that they might not get their fix, or have to *GASP* read a book or be bored for once in their lives. OMG OMG how will they survive??

For reasons like these, and countless more, people pay Netflix to deliver content.

FFS, get a grip- nothing works 100% of the time. How pathetic that people act like this is the end of the world or on par with nuclear war. Go outside, read a book, masturbate, organize your sock drawer....stop being such a cringeworthy TV addict. How did you even manage to live before Netflix? I predate the internet, so old farts like me just go, "Eh" and find something else to do.

Get a hobby, get a girlfriend, set fire to your neighbor's house, I don't give a shit- just stop whining about your life-giving movie stream isn't working right now.
