Netflix's 'Love Is Blind' Reunion: A Disappointing Fiasco.

Netflix's failed attempt to livestream the Love is Blind reunion highlights the technical difficulties of live programming on streaming platforms. Unlike broadcasting, streaming is a series of unicasts, which creates more opportunities for things to go wrong. Netflix's lack of diversified distribution channels and under-anticipation of demand may have contributed to the snafu. As livestreaming is expected to grow, particularly in sports, any latency issues will be particularly jarring for consumers. Netflix must prove it can consistently deliver live content if it wants to compete in the streaming wars.
