Recall that under current reporting, Netflix says someone has watched a show if they’ve seen two minutes of it. When they first rolled that out, they said that was more useful than reporting time spent watching, bc shows with lots of episodes or long movies would be overweighted. — PolitiTweet.org

Netflix has heard you complaining about its self-reported metrics, so it’s changing what it reports. You’ll complain about that, too. It’s going to stop telling you how many people watched a show, and will start reporting how many hours people spent watching it. https://t.co/88gHjoLwLd — PolitiTweet.org

This is out now: https://t.co/cu3dOrE2jy Roku has thrived against Apple, Google, Amazon but this is a meaningful threat. Roku does well because you don’t know you’re buying a Roku - you just happen to buy a TV set with Roku installed. And Walmart sells a lot of Roku TVs. — PolitiTweet.org

@mohawkatlarge Actually no? Not at all? It’s not a both sides story. It is partly about how it gets served up as such, but it’s one side doing the serving. — PolitiTweet.org

@EricNewcomer @Lucas_Shaw In this case I disagree. The act itself is something new at this company. Again: does it mean Netflix itself is roiled/pick your verb? That requires other reporting and also informed analysis - as opposed to the wishcasting we’ve seen with some reporting on other tech cos. — PolitiTweet.org

@EricNewcomer @Lucas_Shaw It’s a form of protest that can have meaningful repercussions. Like getting fired. It’s not nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

@EricNewcomer @Lucas_Shaw Do I think that journos covering tech worker unrest (in general) may have a motive to overplay/overestimate the scope of worker unrest? Could be! But still a thing. — PolitiTweet.org

@EricNewcomer @Lucas_Shaw It means something more than nothing that a company that *never* leaks even though the information has been widely distributed forever has now leaked. — PolitiTweet.org
