This week, we discuss the Netflix password-sharing notifications that have started rolling out in 103 countries and territories, and the challenges users are having understanding how Netflix will enforce the rules and what exactly constitutes a violation. We also detail the rollout of Max, with less than 0.1% of HBO Max accounts experiencing technical issues and highlight new details from YouTube TV regarding NFL Sunday Ticket, including simultaneous stream counts, multiview and video quality. We also break down the laughable comments from Elon Musk and others on Twitter who suggested they "broke the internet" and "melted their servers" due to 600,000 users trying to stream live audio of Ron DeSantis announcing his 2024 presidential bid on Twitter Spaces.

Companies and services mentioned: Netflix, Disney, Twitter, Max, YouTube TV, Warner Bros. Discovery, HBO Max, AOM, Beamr.
