Amazon also horrifically mangles and compresses their video for seemingly no reason all the time.
It's not for no reason, it's to lower bandwidth costs. It may not be a reason that benefits you but there is definitely a reason.
They don't even want to spend the money to provide you the paying customer with HD engagement slop...
And yet peasants still using this shit service and pay for it too!
I think that's dependent on a lot of factors. Most of the highest quality webrips are from Amazon. Pretty sure there was less audio compression on their streams as well.
But watching, you'd often see it lose all quality for seemingly no reason at all, and revert to something that wouldn't have looked out of place on RealPlayer on a 56K modem. I had this several times, and only reinstalling their useless app would fix it.
Yeah that’s the thing is that it’s almost random. As a guy with a network engineering degree that there wasn’t an identifiable issue with my network or devices when this would happen. No idea what would trigger it. Never had the same issue with any other streaming service.
