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.

I was binge watching Lost for the third time in a row when ti went down. I got so angry that I threw my tablet down in a huff, and then went to figure out why my children were crying. Turns out they were hungry for the last 4 days! Ingrates.
Why do people have kids? It sounds horrible.
Mission-critical movies, indeed. Why would anyone freely choose to be in a position where they must provide a such a steady stream of entertainment or suffer nerve-wrecking abuse from little attention-gluttons?
Really that is just one tiny example of the cultural narrative that comes out in our media. People seem to think it is funny that brats dominate their lives, and their finances, not to mention bring new diseases home every other week, and create legal liabilities (guess who is liable if your brat goes on a vandalism spree?). On top of all that, anyone who chooses (without harming or neglecting anyone) to abstain from breeding is seen as a selfish asshole!
Humans are weird.
