Product commander in Netflix explains why they do not allow offline viewing.
Last week did Amazon it is possible to download videos from movie service and watch them offline, which ViaPlay have had for quite a while now.
Not applicable
Netflix, for its part, still refuses to implement this support and in an interview with Gizmodo explains product manager Neil Hunt exactly why.
– There is no doubt that this makes life with Amazon Prime more complex. You have to remember to download things, it’s not going to happen immediately. You must have proper storage size of your device and you have to manage it, says Hunt in an interview.
Hunt also says that he is unsure if users want this and whether it is worthwhile to offer this level of complexity.
Do not want more choice
Product chief also states that users become paralyzed and confused every time they are faced with a new choice, since some people can not decide that it is something they want or not.
– Each time you add a choice, you reduce the number who want to use them, explains Hunt.
He highlights an incident where they did it is possible to rank movies and series on Netflix with half stars, which according to him reduced the number of ratings with 11 percent.
The Netflix on a fly-server
Instead to allow users to download videos, watching Netflix on other opportunities for people to use the service when they are on the move.
– For example, we have everything Netflix content in a “box” and hang up server to an aircraft. This is for me more interesting, says product manager.
– Can we get Netflix to work on airplanes, hotels and trains? he asks.
