@jimsalter I was mainly focusing on the experience of playing a video, more than getting the thing to play, but yeah. The whole rest of the way streaming apps work is a bunch of BS, too. It always amazes me when streaming apps are laggy on a PS5 of all bloody things. Like, you're just showing me a list of thumbnails, you can do that on a potato, how are you this slow on an absolute powerhouse?

@xgranade I got that. The thing that pisses me off about the slow logins is that there is no real technical hurdle to overcome, it's not even anything that requires much EFFORT. Just spin up a few more auth servers in the farm.

But they're all like "ah, why bother giving the peons a tolerable experience." It's just the sheer naked contempt business sociopaths have for the people whose money they feel entitled to.

"Let them eat cake."
