On the upside for Disney, the disruption was caused in large part by a surge of sign-ups.
In 2014, HBO’s streaming service crashed during the season premiere of “ Game of Thrones." Even technology giants like Amazon and YouTube have had problems, though their glitches happened while broadcasting live sports online, which is seen as more difficult than streaming on-demand TV shows and movies. Netflix and Disney are hardly the first media companies to struggle with the technical side of streaming. Some problems are lingering, with nearly 300 reports of Disney+ outages late Thursday morning. They dipped to about a 10th of that by midday. The glitches a week ago at Disney+ ramped up from about a hundred reported outages to more than 7,000 within the span of an hour on. The disruption at Netflix was minor compared with the early moments of the Disney+ launch. The stock has climbed about 6% since the Disney+ launch and is up more than 15% for the year. After briefly declining, the shares were back near their intraday high by midday Thursday. We’re sorry for the inconvenience this caused." “Some of our members were unable to use Netflix for approximately two hours today," a Netflix representative said.
