Netflix issued a statement in response to complaints about the quality of Friday's Jake Paul-Mike Tyson livestream. “This unprecedented scale created many technical challenges, which the launch team tackled brilliantly by prioritizing stability of the stream for the majority of viewers,” Netflix CTO Elizabeth Stone wrote to employees. “I'm sure many of you have seen the chatter in the press and on social media about the quality issues,” she continued. Downdetector, which tracks online outages, more than 80,000 customers were experiencing issues by 10:35 pm New York time on Friday. Despite this, Netflix sees the event as a success after claiming as many as 65 million households were viewing at one point. “We don't want to dismiss the poor experience of some members, and know we have room for improvement, but still consider this event a huge success,” Stone added.
