  • Wouldn't they want to roll this out to all users as soon as possible to save on bandwidth? They have an "are you still watching?" prompt to save on bandwidth as well, right?

    • But they get ad revenue from ads playing even if you aren't actively watching. Premium subs don't have any ads so they can save bandwidth AND not have to worry about losing ad money.
